  • Using a large spoon, place dollups of sunflower seed butter evenly over top the cookie batter.
  • In similar fashion, spoon dollops of marshmallow fluff over the cookie crust (some dollops will land directly on the crust, while others land on top of the sunflower seed butter).
  • Drag a table knife through the cookie dough batter, back and forth in a swirling pattern.
  • Bake on center oven rack for 9 to 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool completely in pan.
