Nut Free SunButter Sugar Cookies with Chocolate Drizzle

These nut free SunButter sugar cookies are a delicious way to show your Valentine a little sweet love. We love sugar cookies, specially the cut outs, and this Valentine’s Day I wanted to do something special for my little ones.

My oldest, 6 year old, is the one with peanut and tree nut allergies. We love SunButter and love to find new ways to cook with it. While this may not taste exactly like a “true” peanut butter cookie, the taste is melt in your mouth good and almost preferred over peanut butter.

Because SunButter has a thinner consistency than peanut butter, a few considerations need to be made when making cut out cookies.

The dough will be very soft, even after chilling. My trick is to load the counter top up with flour, pour a little extra flour into the dough when kneading and keep your rolling pin floured.

Your cookie cutter shapes need to be very basic. Because the dough is soft, I had to cut the shape and then use a fork to lift it up. Because of the softness, some of the shapes had to be cut a few times before transferring to the cookie sheet.

While patience is needed to make these nut free SunButter sugar cookies, their beauty and delicious taste make them worth the wait! Look how soft and fluffy they are.

We drizzled the tops of our sugar cookies with a little bit of melted chocolate almond bark. They would also taste great with a little bit of royal icing.

I hope that you have a chance to try these! And if you do, let me know how yours turn out :)
