Avocado Cookies with Chocolate Chips

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
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 tablespoons dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, beat the mashed avocado, sugars, vanilla, egg, and egg yolk together with an electric hand mixer. Beat until well combined and there are no lumps.

3. 3

   Slowly stir the flour mixture into the avocado mixture.

4. 4

   Add the chocolate chips and mix well until all the ingredients are combined.

5. 5

   Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Preheat your oven to 325°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   Bake for 13 minutes. They will seem underdone, but that's good! They cook a bit more on the sheet afterwards.

9. 9

   Garnish with more chocolate chips if desired and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet completely before enjoying.
