Why add avocado to cookies, of all things? Why, for the protein punch, of course! But not only will it amp up the nutritional value of a simple chocolate chip cookie, it will also enhance the texture and make it creamy and smooth.

Ingredients for avo cookies:
Method of preparing the avo cookies:
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Scrape the avocado flesh in a large bowl, add the butter and the brown sugar. Cream until fluffy - this should take about three minutes.
-
Add the eggs 1 at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder, combining slowly so as to not over-mix the batter. Add the oats and chocolate chips. Chill for 1 hour.
-
Using wet hands, roll the dough into 12 balls, flattening the cookies with the palm of your hands, creating 2 1/2-inch discs. Bake for 20 minutes. The cookies should be slightly golden brown on the edges, but soft in the middle.
-
Remove from the oven and leave to rest for at least 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, then serve immediately or store in the fridge.
Chef's Tip:
The avo cookies will last 5 days in the fridge, and 3 weeks in the freezer.
