🧂 Ingredients

1 3/4 cup sunflower seed flour

*See above post for how-to
1 flax egg or regular egg
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla extract
generous pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350F. If using a flax egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2 1/2
tbsp water and set aside to thicken 5-10 minutes.
2 Start by blending sunflower seeds in a high powered blender until it reaches the
consistency of almond flour – super fine! You'll need around 2 cups of sunflower
seeds to get 1 3/4 cups sunflower seed flour.
3 Then add in the remaining ingredients, mixing well until dough forms. Fold in
the chocolate chips.
4 Use a cookie scoop to drop by roundfuls onto a lined cookie sheet. Use your palm
to slightly flatten them.
5 Bake for 11-12 mins, until golden around the edges. Let them cool completely (i
actually like sticking mine in the freezer for a bit) before enjoying! They'll
firm up as they cool.
