Gluten Free Sunflower Cookies
Sunflowers are happy flowers! With their bright yellow petals and pretty brown centers, they scream joyous, carefree, summer days. I wanted to create a cookie that was just as happy as the sunflower and I did. It is even made with sunflower seeds thanks to Sunbutter, the nut-free peanut butter alternative. These are called gluten free sunflower cookies.
These cookies are almost as fun to make as they are to eat and require no heavy equipment such as a mixer, just a spoon and bowl will do. Get the kiddos involved – unless of course you prefer to keep these babies all to yourself!

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
