Avocado? In a Cookie?! Get out of here...

So, as usual, I was trolling the internets for a healthy way to curb my sweet tooth, and I came across this little number... as I was scoping it out, I thought to myself:

"Avocado. And chocolate... together... I don't know about that. That actually sounds pretty gross. What the hell, here goes. "

The next day I opened the fridge, took a look at the avocado I bought last Sunday that was dangerously close to being overripe, and I tried it out. Mine turned out a little messy, but the taste?! OMG.

So here it is... I'm sharing it with y'all. My recommendation, however, is to enjoy these cold.

What You'll Need:

• 3/4 cup of very ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup of honey OR 1 banana
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
• dark chocolate chunks/chips (I used a few handfuls- I know, not very specific)
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda

What To Do:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl or in a blender, mix together the avocado, honey (or banana), and the egg.
• Slowly mix in the cocoa powder and the baking soda. 
• Stir in the chocolate chips/chunks by hand. 
• Spoon the batter on a non-stick baking tray, and be sure to flatten them out a little. 
• Bake for about 10 minutes, then cool them. Place in the fridge overnight when you are done.

You can also experiment by adding different flavored extracts... mint and caramel, for example. Also, you can add peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips for a different taste as well! :)

Enjoy!
