These Girl Scout cookies are called Peanut Butter Patties or Tagalongs, and guess what? I’ve made them gluten-free and Paleo. Now you can enjoy more gluten-free, Paleo Girl Scout Cookies. No need to give in to cravings for the regular (sugar-filled, gluten-filled) Girl Scout Cookies which are everywhere this time of year.

Thanks. I think I have seen sunbutter around. I just never knew what it’s called in English
This recipe is using sunbutter in place of peanut butter to make it paleo, based on what you are looking for I would think most nut butters would work and maybe even a tahini, but they would each offer a different flavor profile.
Sunbutter is made from sunflower seeds which of course are very popular in Israel, so I would think it would be available somewhere, maybe try a gourmet or health food store.
This recipe looks interesting to me. I’ve never heard of sunbutter; and I live in Israel where it’s possibly not available. What is a substitute for sunbutter and/or does anyone know if I can buy sunbutter in the Jerusalem area?
