Ingredients
- 130 grams avocado 1 medium
- 120 mililitres maple syrup ½ cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 50 grams desiccated coconut ½ cup
- 50 grams cocoa ½ Cup
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 Tablespoon hot water
- ¼ cup dark chocolate drops
Instructions
- Start by mashing your avocado in a medium/large mixing bowl.
- Add the egg, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder and desiccated coconut, and mix/beat until well combined.
- Dissolve the baking soda in the hot water, add this to the avocado cookie batter, mix/beat well.
- Add the chocolate drops and mix so that they are combined evenly in the batter. (the batter will be pretty wet and sticky)
- Refrigerate the batter for 20-30 minutes. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 Fahrenheit), line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Scoop the avocado cookie batter onto the lined tray, use the back of a wet spoon to flatten and shape the cookies.
- Optional extra: Add a few extra chocolate drops to the top of each avocado cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely on the tray.
Notes
- When you are scooping and flattening your cookies use a damp spoon and or scoop, this stops the cookie batter from sticking.
- These cookies are a soft fudgy cookie recipe, they are quite soft when they first come out of the oven so let them cool before trying to move them around.
- You can store these cookies for up to 4 days in an air-tight container in a cool environment. If your house is very warm and humid they may last better in the fridge.
Ingredient substitusions
- Desiccated coconut: This can be substituted for ground almond or almond meal.
- Dark chocolate drops: if you do not require dairy free then you can use any chocolate drops or chocolate chips.
