Notes
- Stir SunButter before using. The oil separation inside the jar is natural.
- Tightly pack light brown sugar.
- Coconut sugar can be used instead but yields a slightly more gritty texture. Dark brown sugar can also be used but will make these cookies much darker in color.
- The cookie dough should be easily scoop-able and not sticky.
- Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to scoop equal sized balls of dough.
- Bake until middles of cookies are just barely set.
- After baking, handle carefully. These cookies are fragile and will firm up as they cool.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
