How fun is this green color & it’s natural without food coloring??
No food coloring need bc the chlorophyll in sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda when baked. This causes the green color once cookies have cooled. A fun science lesson for baking with the kiddos too!
As always, easy one bowl recipe. GF, DF, Nut free, paleo/vegan options, sugar free and keto/low carb.
INGREDIENTS
WET:
- 1 c sunflower butter @sunbutter

STEPS

Made these tonight. Followed the recipe exactly and they might be my favorite cookie recipe from you!! The texture is cake-like. So yummy!

Ahhh! So fun. Thanks for commenting
I let these sit overnight in my fridge and now the dough is VERY dark green (almost black). Why?

thepeachiespoon replied:
They can get more and more green each day yes
Would replacing the collagen powder with protein powder mess with the texture or recipe? Trying to think of an alternative since I don’t have collagen right now!

It’s should work but they won’t be chewy and will be more dry
Does anyone know if I can use another flour other than coconut flour? I have all purpose flour and almond flour

For a swap 1/4 cup coconut flour = 1 cup almond or white flour
Thank you
