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!

These absolutely do look "melt in your mouth" delicious! Luckily, I just re-stocked on both chocolate chips and avocados! 😉
I loved seeing the photos of you with Ricki and Annelies! 🙂 So glad you had such a fun time with so many!
xoxo,
Shirley

Everyone seems to be making this recipe and I need to get on the bandwagon! I even have some frozen avocado stored up (and yup, I'll go your rout and add in some extra chocolate goodness ;D )

All I want is one of these cookies! I have got to start baking with avocados and first will be these cookies:)

I wish we could sit and drink coffee (or cocktail?) and chat over a plate of these cookies! <3

Kristina Sloggett says

Roz@weightingfor50 says
You, Laura and Heather are all amazing in the kitchen. Bring on the chocolate and a glass of wine to "cheers" to you all. 🙂 That sounded bad....
Have a great day Kris.
Kristina Sloggett says
aww, thanks Roz! (and NO, wine never sounds bad!) 😀

I've been wanting to try baking with avocado for a couple months now -- after looking at how soft & fluffy these look, I think it's time to take the plunge!
