Equipment
- Wooden Spoon
- Oven
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raw organic cane sugar
- 1/2 cup mashed avocado
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10 tablespoons dark chocolate chips can use dairy-free
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the mashed avocado, raw organic cane sugar, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk together with an electric hand mixer. Beat until well combined and there are no lumps.
- Slowly stir the flour mixture into the avocado mixture.
- Add the dark chocolate chips and mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to roll the dough into balls (slightly heaping out of the cookie scoop) and place onto the parchment paper. Press out to just under 1/2-inch thick.
- Bake for 13 minutes. They will seem underdone, but that’s good! They cook a bit more on the sheet afterwards.
- Garnish with more chocolate chips if desired and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet completely before enjoying.
