So you're going to have to trust me on this one. These are healthy cookies that are delicious for being so healthy. Once you are past the fact there is avocado inside, you can enjoy the delicious cake-like cookies that taste similar to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I found this recipe while stumbling and made some of my own modifications to make them more moist, sweet, and natural.
Ingredients:
One ripe avocado
1/2 cup stevia (or other low/no calorie sweetener)
1/4 cup agave sweetener (I got mine at Trader Joes)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons applesauce
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
cinnamon
1 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Remove the avocado from the skin and mix in a bowl (using a mixer) until smooth.
Add the stevia and agave sweeteners, eggs, vanilla, and applesauce while continuing to blend in the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, stir the flour, baking soda and salt together.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing.
Add cinnamon to taste. I am a big fan of cinnamon so I tend to add a lot, but it just depends on your preference.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon sized drops of dough onto a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. The cookies don't change much in shape when they bake so I flatten them a little bit with the back of a spoon. Bake at 290 degrees for about 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!
