Gluten Free Sunbutter & Jelly Cookies

Just because a kid can’t eat gluten, or dairy, or peanuts, (or all three!) shouldn’t mean they need to feel deprived when it comes to treat time.

The cool thing about these cookies – a nut free version of a classic flavor combo – is they are a snap to make, they taste delicious, and they are just plain fun!

You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy these Gluten Free Sunbutter & Jelly Cookies.

Recipe Note: The lemon juice in the recipe keeps the cookies from turning a slightly greenish color (which occurs because the chlorophyll in the sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda or baking powder when baked and cooled). The color does not affect the taste but since we eat with our eyes first, I urge you not to leave it out.
