Holiday baking season is here, and I couldn’t be more excited. The holidays bring parties, comforting food, and a festive atmosphere—plus everyone seems to give themselves permission to enjoy sweet treats.
Giving yourself permission to enjoy desserts makes them more enjoyable. It sounds simple, but it can be hard to truly let go of guilt or the urge to “earn” treats. My hope is that this season you’ll allow yourself to enjoy the foods you love without stress.
One tip: keep treats in the house. It may seem counterintuitive, but when treats are readily available, you’re less likely to binge on them. Knowing you can enjoy one any time often makes the whole batch less tempting.
So, let’s talk about these Flourless SunButter Cookies…
These cookies are ridiculously simple. Combine six ingredients in a bowl, stir with a spoon—no special equipment—scoop onto a baking sheet, flatten slightly, bake, cool, and enjoy.
Important: don’t skip the cooling step. If the cookies aren’t completely cool they’ll crumble when you pick them up. Let them set on the baking sheet so they hold together and develop a nice texture.
What’s in these cookies?
Just six ingredients:
- Creamy SunButter
- 1 large egg
- Pure vanilla extract
- Light brown sugar
- Chocolate chips
- Dried cranberries
Creamy SunButter brings bold sunflower flavor, healthy fats, protein, and a little fiber to these cookies. I skipped chemical leaveners (baking soda or powder) because they can react with sunflower seed butter and cause a greenish tint. The egg provides structure and helps the cookies hold together.
I used light brown sugar for a subtle molasses note without an overpowering flavor. If you want to experiment with vegan egg substitutes like a flax or chia egg, let me know how that turns out.
