Chocolate Kale Cookies

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup applesauce
• 1/3 cup finely chopped kale
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a bowl.
3. Combine applesauce and kale in a blender; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
4. Beat sugar, butter, egg white, and vanilla with an electric mixer in a bowl until smooth and creamy; beat in kale mixture, canola oil, and honey. Stir flour mixture into kale mixture until dough is just mixed; fold in chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until edges are slightly hardened, 10 to 12 minutes.
