Notes

  • Sometimes, the natural chorophyll contained in sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda and baking powder in the recipe, cuasing a green color in the cookies after they cool. This is harmless. Depending on the recipe, you can reduce the baking soda/powder by about one-third or add a splash of lemon juice to help prevent any “greening”.
