Ingredients:

    1 large Egg
    1 cup Sunflower Seed Butter
    1/3 cup raw Honey
    1/4 cup raw Cacao powder
    2 teaspoons pure Vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
    1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions:

1)  Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl, using a hand held mixer. The texture will be very sticky due to the cookies containing no flour and the texture of the seed butter and honey.

2)  Shape the cookie dough into balls (around the size of a golf ball) with wet hands and place them on a greased cookie sheet about 1 and 1/2 inches apart.  The dough is very sticky and the best way to shape it is to make sure that your hands are damp (you may need to re-wet them many times).

3)  After your balls are lined up on the cookie sheet, at least an inch and a half apart, take a wet fork and press them down in a criss-cross shape (like traditional peanut butter cookies).  You will have to re-wet the fork several times to prevent it from sticking to the dough.

4)  Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Makes about 15 cookies.
