Yummy cookies that will go over great for your next Halloween party! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter (or margarine) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup splenda sugar substitute (note splenda is sweeter than sugar. if you are afraid of splenda you will have to increase this meas) |
1/2 cup sunflower seed butter (i like the crunchy kind, buy in the organic section) |
1 egg |
1/16 ounce unsweetened baking cocoa (just enough to sprinkle on top) |
Directions:
1. In mixing bowl beat butter & sunflower-butter on med to high for 30 seconds.
2. Add 1/2 cup of flower, egg, splenda, baking powder & soda and vanilla.
3. Beat until thoroughly combined.
4. Beat in remaining flour.
5. Cover & chill dough so it is easier to handle. (About 20 minutes)
6. Shape into 1 inch balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart from each other.
7. flatten by crisscrosing with the tines of a fork.
8. Sprinkle the coco over each flattened cookie.
9. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. (NOTE: splenda does not allow cookies to brown. Test to see if they are done by lightly feeling the middle of a cookie. If it still feels like raw cookie dough they are not done.)
10. Cool on a wire rack.
11. The great thing about these cookies is that once they cool, they turn a bright mossy green inside! This is great for your spooky Halloween party! (I call them swamp cookies for the party).
