Avocado Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Not from Thanksgiving...)
I have waiting a long time to make these cookies and I finally got around to doing it! (It helped to have brought chocolate chips back to Uganda with us from the US).
One of the wonderful things about living in Uganda is the cheapness of avocados. You can buy about eight of them for less than $1. So what better place to make avocado chocolate chip cookies than here? I admit, it sounds really strange, but you really cannot tell that there is an avocado in these cookies. Maybe they look a little bit green before they are baked?
Anthony claimed that he could taste the avocado a little bit after I told him that it had avocado in it...
The link to the recipe no longer seems to exist, so I am going to share what I found once upon a time, giving credit where credit is due. I did use whole wheat flour, butter instead of Earth Balance, and an egg instead of the flax seed + water.
-Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl
-In a separate bowl combine the Earth Balance and avocado to make a smooth buttery mixture, then add the sugars, flax seed mixture, and vanilla to combine until the ingredients are well incorporated
-Add the dry ingredients and mix well
-Add the chocolate chips and mix, then refrigerate the cookie dough overnight
