Triple Chocolate Avocado Cookies are an indulgent chocolate fix that people won’t believe is actually healthy. See if you can taste the secret avocado ingredient… I bet you won’t be able to!
You guys, I seriously can’t even handle these cookies right now. I’m kind of freaking out over them.
I probably ate about 5 or 6 of these bad boys as I was testing the recipe, trying to find the avocado in them and you can’t taste it at all.
No, I’m not exaggerating. That avocado is hidden so freaking well in these cookies, you’ll be able to get even the pickiest eater to fall in love with them.
Then you can sit back and smile to yourself for accomplishing such an amazing feat (based on a true story, just saying).
Of course I love avocado and I wouldn’t mind having it in all the food I devour, but there’s something magical about substituting it for butter and having it be completely untraceable.
It’s a healthy cookie, people. Me. Meghan. I made a healthy cookie.
What is happening here, exactly?!
Don’t worry, it’s still me I promise. No AI robot has come to take over my life or anything. I’m still in here.
Really it all stemmed from me trying to figure out a crazy creative way to use avocados other than in guacamole.
I wanted to bring something completely wild and different to the table, so why not throw some avocado in and triple the chocolate love?
Why not, indeed…
These triple chocolate avocado cookies are like little pillows – soft and absolutely luxurious.
They practically melt in your mouth with every bite. The texture is something I’ve never been able to perfect with any other cookie in my life and I think, aside from the killer triple chocolate flavor, that’s what really makes this cookie unique.
Plus you can eat twice as many because of all those calories you’re saving. Nothing wrong with that at all, am I right?
More cookies + more chocolate + avocado = this girl’s dream come true.
Triple Chocolate Avocado Cookies
ingredients
- 1 large Avocado Ripe, peeled, pitted, and mashed well
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2/3 cup Brown Sugar Plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- pinch of Salt
- 2 ounces Dark Chocolate Chips
- 2 ounces White Chocolate Chips
instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together mashed avocado, sugars, egg, and vanilla until well-combined. Stir in the dry ingredients until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon dough balls onto the baking sheet. Note the dough will be pretty wet so you won’t be forming hard balls with the dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes, until the center is set. They will still be fairly soft. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before eating.
Oh man, these look so thick and chocolatey! I’ve hesitated to try the various desserts I’ve seen with avocado, but these make me want to dive right in!
Can I eat the whole batch and consider that my vegetable for the day? lol
Heck yes you can! I approve.
These look SO good. I want! I’ve made chocolate-avocado pudding, which was totally delicious so I believe you!
Amazing cookies and great recipe! I will make them for sure, I’ve wanted to try avocado in the batter for so long!
I made these this weekend and strictly followed recipe. They never totally set up. I even cooked them an extra 5 minutes and let them sit out. They were gooey and hard to get off of the pan. The flavor was wonderful though! Any suggestions for me? I thought about adding a little more flour.
Oh no, that’s terrible to hear! I’m sorry you ran into issues. I would definitely try adding a little more flour, especially if you are in a more humid climate. I would up it to 3/4 cup of flour instead of 1/2 cup – that should solve the problem for you!
Oh my these were delicious! The batter is so sticky though and hard to form in “clean” cookie shape. I think I am going to try making them in mini muffin pans and see if they turn out as little brownie bites. Will report back!
I cannot wait to try this and the Chocolate Cake version out.
Thank you for posting and sharing. Bless you!
