Avocado, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies

This cookie recipe uses a ripe avocado to take the place of some of the butter found in most cookie recipes.

The avocado gives the cookies a smoother texture without contributing too much to the flavor profile. And no, the cookies won’t come out green.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cup flour (I used a mix of what and white)
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 ripe avocado


Avocado, Cinnamon, Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookie Dough

• 5 TBSP unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup cinnamon chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl except pecans, chocolate chips and cinnamon chips. Stir until smooth.
3. Fold in remaining ingredients.
4. Use a spoon to scoop batter into 1/2-inch rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake 20 minutes or until golden-brown around the edges. Let cool for a few minutes and serve.

These cookies are very simple and can go from mixing bowl to oven to plate in about 30 minutes.

Enjoy them with a big glass of milk.
