I have been wanting to try Goop.com recipe for salted chocolate avocado cookies. The combination of avocado and chocolate is very interesting to me, also baking with avocado is something that I have been wanting to explore. This recipe was simple and took little time to make. The avocado added a smoothness and replaces the saturated fats. It almost tastes like a brownie in a cookie form! The rich dark chocolate flavor is very present but the added salt flakes are what really makes this cookie delicious and special.
Cookies Fulfill My Sweet Tooth
So If you have a sweet tooth or a thing about chocolate, this cookie is for you! I would definitely bake again with avocado and next time I will replace the Spelt flour with Almond flour to make them gluten-free! If avocados are your thing, checkout my Paleo Baked Egg Avocado (Greek Style).
