No Sugar Added Sunflower-Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/4 cups flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute (NOTE Splenda is sweeter than sugar. If you are afraid of Splenda you will have to increase this meas)
    1/2 cup sunflower seed butter (I like the crunchy kind, buy in the organic section)
    1 egg
    1/16 ounce unsweetened baking cocoa (Just enough to sprinkle on top)
Preparation
    In mixing bowl beat butter & sunflower-butter on med to high for 30 seconds.
    Add 1/2 cup of flower, egg, splenda, baking powder & soda and vanilla.
    Beat until thoroughly combined.
    Beat in remaining flour.
    Cover & chill dough so it is easier to handle. (About 20 minutes)
    Shape into 1 inch balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart from each other.
    flatten by crisscrosing with the tines of a fork.
    Sprinkle the coco over each flattened cookie.
    Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. (NOTE: splenda does not allow cookies to brown. Test to see if they are done by lightly feeling the middle of a cookie. If it still feels like raw cookie dough they are not done.)
    Cool on a wire rack.
    The great thing about these cookies is that once they cool, they turn a bright mossy green inside! This is great for your spooky Halloween party! (I call them swamp cookies for the party).
