Double Dark Chocolate Avocado Cookies - a light, fluffy and flavorful cookie with a dose of healthy fats and a double dose of chocolate goodness!
Mmm...
Welcome to chocolate week, part two! But honestly, isn't every week chocolate week?
I chose a recipe with chocolate, but I think the star in this case is avocado. Many of you know I love my dark chocolate, and it is essential here, but the avocado makes these cookies positively melt in your mouth fluffy soft.
So very rich and flavorful, too.
Look at that puffy fluffy:
I chose Laura's chocolate avocado cookies from last week, and am so happy I did. Some of the best cookies I have had in a while. I used her vegan version (using flax + water in place of egg, in addition to a tiny teaspoon of Ener-G egg replacer powder).
I also used more chocolate chips, because that is just how I do.
The cookie dough seemed more like a batter, so I placed the whole bowl in the freezer for several minutes to firm it up, before scooping it into cookies.
The result is a very flavorful, soft and fluffy cookie. Seriously melt in your mouth - so good.
Have you used avocado in baking before? Please do so as soon as possible - starting with this recipe!

I've never heard of avocados in a cookie... and this is from a girl who made ice cream out of an ostrich egg... so I'm going to have to try this! Thanks!
Kristina Sloggett says
Amy I like the way you think! you will surely love these cookies...
Jennifer says
I love using avocados in anything, but especially desserts. I made some chocolate chip cookies using avocados and they were great! But since chocolate is my first love, I think I'm gonna have to try these next time.
Kristina Sloggett says
yes, you will LOVE these, Jennifer!
Eileen says
I have never used avocados in baking before--they all seem to fall into my mouth on toast, or on top of tacos, or maybe chopped up in salads. But! These cookies look so soft and fluffy and delicious that I may have to give it a try. 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
I know... any given day you can find me standing in the kitchen, holding a half avocado, salt and a spoon... Mmm...
Kath (My Funny Little Life) says
I'd never have thought you could use avocado for baking! 😀
Kristina Sloggett says
I know... SO good! 🙂 being a healthy fat, I suppose it is a replacement for oil/butter...
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I am so glad you liked them!!! Avocado is the best... and the more chocolate chips, the merrier. 🙂
Happy Monday!!!
Kristina Sloggett says
the more chocolate the merrier? just might be my new motto 😉
Sam says
Yours look much more appealing than the pictures in the other blog...I think due to the lighter color! Did you use less cocoa powder?
Kristina Sloggett says
hi Sam, not sure why the difference in color - I followed the recipe quantities exactly; I did mash the avocado very well, which may have lightened the cookie dough more? (the original recipe has more pieces of avocado it seems). either way, an amazing cookie! 🙂

Miz says
I know the 'cado is good for me---but I dont love it.
I need to hide it from myself 🙂
these would be perfect.
Kristina Sloggett says
cannot even tell it's there. SO GOOD.
Abby says
I've seen a few avocado cookie recipes lately and you know how much I love the green goodness. Considering how buttery it is, I guess it makes sense for the cookies!
Kristina Sloggett says
it absolutely makes sense - I cannot wait to experiment, as you know I will 😉
