I planted blue corn for the first time. My hope was corn meal for blue corn chocolate chip cookies. The weather has been so bizarre that I wasn't sure the stalks would produce, but I have 2 ears. Woo! That might be enough for one batch of cookies. Now I just need to hope these finish before the hard frost.

I wish you luck. So you can use blue corn flour for cookies? Interesting.

The recipes I have followed cut it with flour so that they still rise, but it adds a nice grainy texture and a different layer of sweetness that's not so sugary. If you are a crunchy cookie enjoyer, it's probably not the best base. It makes great chewy cookies though.

Chewy all the way.

Whenever I make some (whether it's my corn or not) I'll transpose the recipe here and try to remember to tag you. I'm usually pretty good at remembering stuff like that. 😊

Sounds good. It's been awhile since I've checked out any of your recipes. I look forward to it.

Success!!! 😍✨

I will hope with you all the while knowing you will be successful.

Corn is a powerful, powerful crop, a powerful fruit, delicious, full of sugar, full of energy. It is powerful.

Nice.

Getting me excited for the coming season

I would love to know how you make these, they sound amazing, can you use other varieties of corn, I have a couple of ears of Japanese black corn growing?

I imagine most varieties of corn would work, especially the more fibrous types, because they have less water content. I don't know anything about Japanese black corn specifically, but it around work.

To make the corn meal, you take it off the cob, dehydrate it in an oven or dehydrator, and run it through a food processor, blender, or grain mill. Put it through a small sifter to remove any hulls, then grind it again. You can do it a 3rd time for a finer powder.

As far as the cookies go, there's a bunch of recipes out there. Any corn meal works.

I'll put one up on Nostr eventually, but it's going to be a while. With a couple exceptions, I try to limit recipe piracy to when I actually make something, so I at least have original (but usually awful) pictures. 😅

should* work ... not around. Auto-correct, sorry.

I bet if I freeze dry it, it would work too, thank you so much!
