Thanks to Kim Watkinson, The Ninja Baker, we have a delicious and adventurous bento for kiddos of all ages! “[These] crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, gluten-free strawberry cookies are wonderful! The cookies are slightly reminiscent of digestive wheat biscuits from the UK. (But remember the cookies are gluten-free!)”

Like any well rounded meal, don’t forget to include some healthy snacks in your bento like the fresh berries pictured below!

  • Whisk together the flours, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the butter mix on low to medium speed.
  • Sprinkle in the strawberries and chocolate chips then refrigerate overnight. Take out the next day about 45 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
