Chewy Vegan Kale Cookies

By 2 Comments

Hi, I’m Synthia. I have a blog called “Cookies to Kale”, and have never made a KALE COOKIE.

You guys, how have I not done this before?!

This morning I did, and the result was

I will admit, when I first began combining the ingredients, I was skeptical. I honestly thought there was no way that the kale would go undetected. I anticipated a cookie that tasted a little bit delicious…and a little bit like grass.

I was wrong.

These tasted just like my favorite chocolate chip cookies. Soft, chewy, chocolatey, banana-y (is that a word?) and just plain yummy!

I’d imagine these would be great to bake with kids! They are easy to make, and they hide those green veggies that are hard to get little ones to eat.
