Miss peanut butter cookies but have a peanut allergy? Try these delicious Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies instead. They have a similar taste but are allergy-friendly.
Peanut allergies have become a lot more common and that can leave people missing out on tasty peanut butter treats. Thankfully peanut-free alternatives are popping up everywhere.
A great peanut butter alternative is sunflower seed butter because it’s also tree nut free which is another common allergen. It also is delicious and works really well in place of peanut butter.
You can find sunflower seed butter in most grocery stores now or you can order online from Thrive Market which is an online natural food store.
These cookies are also great crumbled up in ice cream for a fun summer treat. Or you can make an ice cream sandwich with them. We recommend chocolate ice cream with these.
