These cookies are miraculously made without any flour and instead use sunflower seed butter as their base, which yields a rich and gooey result. They are surprisingly cakey and unapologetically fudgy with their dark chocolate chunks. The sunflower seed coating around the outside also adds a pleasant crunch.
