Description

Avocado what? Yup. Avocado Cookies. Half the fat as regular cookies, and soooooo incredibly soft. I see big things for this cookie’s future!

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Avocado
  • ½ cups Butter, Softened
  • ¾ cups White Sugar
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2-¼ cups Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ⅓ cups Pecans, Chopped
  • 8 ounces, weight Chocolate Chips

Preparation

Cream together avocado, butter, and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add flour, salt, baking powder and soda, adding one cup at a time. Then add nuts and chocolate chips. You can also add oats, coconut, shoelaces, whatever you’re feelin’!

Roll spoonfuls of dough into balls and flatten slightly. Bake at 350ºF for 11-13 minutes until golden and gorgeous.

We just cut half the fat by using the healthy fat in avocados and it was easy peasy—and delicious! Check out the related blog post for more helpful tips.

These were really good! My kids loved them and they usually turn their nose up at anything green! Thanks

I love recipes with unusual ingredients and this one was fun to make. I used a mix of chocolate chips, cinnamon chips and walnuts.

The cookie dough was wetter than I expected so I didn’t roll them or flatten them. I just plopped generous cookie scoops on to the baking sheet and they came out perfect. The color of the dough was a little off-putting but they came out of the oven looking like innocent, normal cookies. The softness was unbelievable.

I had a lot of fun telling people they were made with avocado!
