Chocolate Mint Avocado Cookies

These Chocolate Mint Avocado Cookies are equal parts chocolate-filled wonder and ooey-gooey goodness. Their delightful, fudge-y, cake-like texture is unlike any other dessert. Truly, they are pure heaven and these cookies are serious business because you know by now that I don’t joke about chocolate!

WAIT. Hold up. Double take.

Avocado???… is she serious? DON’T LEAVE! I can explain.

The avocado acts in place of any butter, shortening or oil you would normally use in a cookie recipe. Avocados offer monounsaturated fats (heart-healthy fats), fiber , vitamin K, folate and so many other things that you get from other fat sources. (I’m all about those healthy fats and vitamins!)

But wait. It’s get even better. You only need 7 ingredients and 30 minutes. That’s right. You are just 30 MINUTES away from chewy, gooey, cocoa paradise.

They are still cookies, though. So, I wouldn’t go making them your morning meal or anything (I’ve never done that 😁 ).

Because these Chocolate Mint Avocado Cookies are avocado-based you may not know what to expect. Here are a two important notes:

1. First off, this dough is more of a batter. It’s very sticky and cake-batter-like because of the avocado. As a result, the cookies are a bit more delicate and tend to stick to the pan and to each other. Moral of the story: be sure to grease your baking sheet!
2. Once your cookies have cooled, store them in the refrigerator or freezer. You may even want to separate your layers with wax paper. I haven’t had too much trouble with these cookies sticking and freezing to one another since updating this recipe (what you’re reading is the updated version). But, anything is possible and you wouldn’t want to leave your cookies all in perfect circular portions and come back to one massive lump of gooey chocolate- true story from when I first stared developing this recipe. In the very least, don’t stack them on top of each other. One layer high is the way to go.
