Every now and then I have the hankering for cinnamon raisin chocolate chip cookies and with my paleo diet it means working with coconut flour or a seed butter as the base. I love sunflower seed butter so I decided to whip up a batch, got a little creative and created this recipe.
The raisins and cinnamon really add a new flavor to the chocolate chip cookies. It almost reminds me of the everything cookie I used to buy from my natural market.
Ingredients
- 1 lb roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Taqblespoon ground cinnamon powder
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Place sunflower seeds in a food processor and grind into a rough nut butter.
- In a separate bowl add the cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl add the cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
- Next add in honey, egg and vanilla and mix well with a spoon
- Then add in sunflower butter, raisins and dark chocolate chips and mix until your batter is well blended.
- Take a spoonful of the dough and roll into a small ball.
- Place the cookie on your baking sheet and press with a small glass.
- Bake in your oven at 350 degrees for 10 -15 minutes.
- The cookies will be very soft when you remove them from the oven and once cooled will firm up.
OK, these look so good! Even my daughter (who is sitting next to me) said, “What are those!! I want some!” =)

I was skeptical about these until they actually cooled down and sat for a while….they are AWESOME Kelly!!! Thank you so much! My husband requested oatmeal raisin cookies, and during my quest for a recipe I found these and was so intrigued! I had a pound of pepitas (those little green guys) getting bored in my pantry and thought I’d try roasting them to see what would happen…
Processing them took absolutely forever (20+ minutes!), but I liked the consistency. I added a bit of cocoa and coconut oil because I was afraid of the flavor — actually, every time I tested the “batter” I thought “This might not work out…” — but now I wish I’d added at least twice the cinnamon.
They turned out exactly like your pictures, the consistency is beautiful and the flavor is really great!! I don’t mean to sound so surprised, but I’m just pleased that these weren’t a disaster with the pepitas. My husband is used to things tasting “healthy” (read: “disappointing”), but even he thinks they’re wonderful. SCORE! Thanks Kelly – You Rock! <3
Deanna, I just want to say that your comment made my day hun. Thank you for taking the time to leave it and I’m so happy you both enjoyed them!
These look terrific & yummy! I’m planning on making this recipe in a few days. Been thinking I would try adding walnuts to your recipe as we are all walnut nuts in our family. Thank you so much for this intriguing recipe Kelly!
You are so welcome Carole! I hope you enjoy it!
