Sunflower Seed Butter

[Ruth Stroud]

I never thought to make sunflower seed butter or cookies. These remind me of peanut butter cookies with their crosshatched tops. I wonder if they taste similar. And I definitely can relate to feeling grouchy over overpriced flowers and rude kiddies. But your lovely illustration of the flowers you brought home makes up for it! Nice work, Vicki!🌻

Thank you, Ruth! They do have a similar texture to peanut butter cookies. They would be a good substitute for someone with a peanut allergy.

Good to know! I’m intrigued with the idea of making sunflower seed butter.

I went for a drive to find the sunflower fields awhile ago in New Paltz, NY, but they planted corn this year - disappointing!! I asked at a nearby farm stand/store about it, all the clerks there were overworked - but one did agree that nearby sunflower fields caused problems with tourist traffic on their only road- so they won’t plant them anymore!

Your pastel drawing is beautiful❣️

Thanks, Peggy. Interesting about the problems the sunflowers created with traffic. The farm near me is on a main road, but they have the sunflowers on a quiet adjoining road. They plant them far enough away from the road so that you have to pay and enter the farm to get a good look or a photo. There just seems to be more traffic everywhere.

Wonderful! Just the sound of Sunflower Butter makes my mouth water. A perfect name for a paint color as well. Thank you Vicki.

These cookies look SO delicious! Fun to see all the places on your journey where you spotted sunflowers.
