I\u2019ve had some fun playing around with it recently, and it results in very tender, delicious baked goods. You can play up the sunflower flavor, as in these cookies, or hide it behind chocolate or other strong flavors. Just be forewarned &#8211; the chlorophyll in the sunflower seeds sometimes reacts with leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder and gives the baked goods a greenish hue. My first batch of these sunbutter chocolate chip cookies had baking soda and turned distinctly green. The second batch had just a little baking powder and they stayed nice and brown!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-289\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-37098\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"b6151ace75\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_37098_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(37098, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(4.7, 5, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
