Do you think this is the reason no trick-or-treaters came to my house?

They’re delicious and gluten free. What more could you ask for? These kale chocolate chip cookies are adapted from the Fifty shades of kale cookbook I posted about last week.

 

 

Yeah, this is what theirs looked like. Never mind, just pretend mine look a little less bloppy.

 

 

To start I grabbed a few leafs of kale from the garden

 

 

and pulled off the tough stems.

 

 

Then I tore them into pieces

 

 

and chopped the pieces up until they were pretty small.

 

 

Like that.

 

 

Into a bowl I tossed a stick of butter,

 

 

Brown sugar,

 

 

molasses,

 

 

the eggs,

 

 

and vanilla. Then mixed again.

 

 

Next I added the dry ingredients, gluten free flour,

 

xanthan gum,

 

 

oats,

 

 

and chopped kale.

 

 

Maybe I tossed in a little bit more.

 

 

And mixed it all in.

 

 

Next the chocolate chips,

 

After I mixed them all together and was ready to put spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet I noticed I’d forgotten the baking powder!!

 

 

So I slowly worked in a little sprinkle of baking powder in at a time until I got it all in.

 

 

Baking gluten free with xanthan gum is pretty sticky so this was quite a task. Please remember to put the baking powder in with the flour.

 

 

Finally I got them onto the cookie sheets and topped with additional chocolate chips. Baked at 350 for 12-15 minutes and they were just fine!
