Classic Sunbutter Sugar Cookies

Classic Sunbutter sugar cookies are a delightful twist on traditional sugar cookies, perfect for the holiday season. These cookies boast a rich, nutty flavor thanks to Sunbutter, a sunflower seed butter that is both creamy and delicious. They are easy to make and can be decorated with holiday-themed toppings, making them the perfect treat to share with friends and family.

Cooking Steps Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking.
3. Combine Sunbutter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, add the Sunbutter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack the egg into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Mix until the egg is fully incorporated into the batter.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. This step helps evenly distribute the leavening agents.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the Sunbutter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
7. Form the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Then, roll each ball in the extra sugar that you set aside earlier to give them a sweet, crispy exterior.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
9. Flatten the Cookies: Gently press each cookie ball down with the bottom of a glass or your hand to flatten them slightly. This will help them bake evenly.
10. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked – this is okay as they will continue to set when cooling.
11. Cool and Enjoy: Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Classic Sunbutter Sugar Cookies!
