For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of softened butter. Finely chopping the kale is essential to prevent a bitter taste and improve the overall texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Ensure there are no clumps. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a blender or food processor, combine the applesauce and finely chopped kale. Blend until completely smooth and pureed. This step is crucial for texture. (3 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, softened butter, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Then, gradually beat in the kale mixture, canola oil, and honey until well combined. (5 minutes)
05
StepGradually add the flour mixture to the kale mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips. (3 minutes)
06
StepDrop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie. (3 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly hardened and the centers are set. (12 minutes)
08
StepRemove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)

Feb 2, 2025I found that 10 minutes was perfect for my oven. Any longer and they would have been overbaked.
