chocolate avocado cookies

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 25 mins Serves: 36 cookies

Ingredients

2 and 1⁄4 cup white whole wheat flour or 2 and 3/4 cup almond meal plus 1⁄4 cup coconut flour 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 cup granulated sugar or erythritol

1⁄2 cup brown sugar OR 1⁄2 cup erythritol plus 1 teaspoon of molasses 1⁄2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1⁄4 cup mashed avocado
1⁄4 cup unsweetened almond milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs or 1 Tablespoon egg replacer plus 1⁄4 cup water chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
  2. Add the flour, salt, baking soda, cane sugar or erythritol, brown sugar or erythritol plus molasses, and unsweetened cocoa powder into the bowl of stand mixer. Alternately, you can add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and stir by hand. Using the paddle attachment, stir the dry ingredients on low speed. Add in the mashed avocado, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and eggs or egg replacer and continue to stir until combined but not overworked. The dough will be a bit crumbly, but that’s okay. Just use your hands to squish it all together. Stir in the chocolate by hand.
  1. Using a 1⁄2 tablespoon measure, scoop the dough into balls and place on the baking sheet two inches apart. Press down into cookie shapes. Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks. Stored in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator, these cookies should last at least a week. Devour.

Notes

To keep vegan, use egg replacer and vegan chocolate.

To keep paleo, use the almond and coconut flour version with erythritol.

You may substitute your milk of choice for the unsweetened almond milk.
