Want to wow members of your Christmas cookie-swap group in December? Give them a batch of these wickedly delicious Black Garlic Chocolate Chip Cookies. As it happens, black garlic and chocolate play very well together. This recipe comes courtesy of Kristin Graves of Fifth Gen Gardens in central Alberta. Among the plethora of gorgeous ingredients that Kristin grows, many of which are sourced by chefs, her garlic is top tier.

This recipe is a fun take on a childhood favorite, she says. “As a garlic farmer, I wanted to create something that would showcase the uniqueness of local ingredients. While my mom would fold in cherries, I’ve opted to add black garlic, a product we make ourselves here on the farm. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s a real conversation starter. Everyone knows that garlic can be overpowering, but when garlic is kept at low heat over a period of weeks, it ferments and the flavor becomes subtle and surprisingly sweet.”

This recipe was excerpted from 'Prairie' by Dan Clapson and Twyla Campbell. Buy the full book on Amazon.
