The Institute of Child Nutrition (ICN) would like to evolve the November theme of gratitude into GIVING by sharing the individuals and districts submitted for recognition in the latest STAR Webinar, Recognizing the Dedication and Strength of School Nutrition Heroes. School nutrition professionals have spent almost two years giving their time, hard work, and dedication to feeding our children during the pandemic. Our mission at ICN is to GIVE you the support and resources you need to continue your excellent work. Visit TheICN.org for all the helpful resources, training materials, webinars, podcasts, videos, posters, and so much more at no cost to you.

1. Mix the baking soda and the water in a small bowl (or a cup) and set aside. 2. Using an electric hand mixer whip the avocado very well. Add the maple syrup (or honey), and continue whipping until smooth. 3. Add the egg and incorporate well. 4. Then add the cocoa powder a little at a time while continuing to mix on slow/medium speed. Once it’s all added, turn the speed back up to high, and mix well. 5. Add the baking soda/water while still mixing on high. 6. Add the chopped chocolate and stir to combine. The dough will be fairly soft. 7. Using a 2 Tbsp scoop, or 2 tablespoons worth, plop the cookie dough onto the prepped cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookie oh so slightly with a spoon. You can also do 1 tbsp sized cookie just adjust the baking time. 8. Bake for 8-10 minutes. They will seem a bit underdone and that’s a-o.k. 9. Let cool on the cookie sheet on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes, then move to the wire rack to finish cooling. 10. Grind candy cane in food processor sprinkle on top to be extra festive!
