Preparation of sunflower and bitter cocoa cookies
Step by step recipe for sunflower cookies
First we are going to add the 200 grams of sunflower inside the food processor, with a dash of vanilla essence and we are also going to add 4 tablespoons of mascabo sugar, which you can get in any health food store. If you don’t have mascabo sugar, you can replace it with blonde sugar or brown sugar, which is healthier than white sugar.
Next we are going to add two tablespoons of bitter cocoa and then we are also going to add two tablespoons of flax seeds. If you do not have flaxseed you can replace it with chia seeds.
We finish by adding 6 tablespoons of water and now we are ready to close the food processor, turn it on and process all these ingredients.
It is very fast, we only do it 1 or 2 minutes and we have ready the paste that we are going to use for the cookies.
Then we are going to transfer it to a bowl and let it rest for half an hour. We can leave it at room temperature, no refrigerator is necessary.
Once the 30 minutes of rest have elapsed, we are ready to begin to assemble our healthy sunflower and bitter cocoa cookies.
We can assemble them with the help of a mold and a spoon, simply put a little bit of the mixture inside the mold, crush it with the spoon to give it shape and then we move on to the next one.
The best way to assemble these cookies to be able to cook them in the oven without any problem is to assemble them on a silicone base in a baking dish. If you don’t have a silicone base don’t worry because you can also use baking paper or parchment paper.
Once you have assembled all the cookies with the dough we had prepared, it’s time to decorate them. I am going to add a nut to each of the cookies. They look great with the nuts. We finish them with some poppy seeds to give them the final touch.
Once you have all the cookies ready we are going to take them to a medium oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool and they are ready to eat. They are practically not deformed, the sugar melts a little bit but not much more than that.
What do you think of these healthy sunflower and bitter cocoa cookies? They are ideal for when you have visitors, they will make you look great. They have an exquisite flavor and the truth is that since they are made with a lot of nutritious ingredients, they are super filling. You eat two or three and you are completely satisfied.
