Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed (about ½ cup)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until combined.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Cookies will look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
- Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container once completely cooled.
Notes
- Use ripe avocado for the best texture.
- Chill dough for 15 minutes if you prefer puffier cookies.
- Add chopped nuts or a dash of cinnamon for a flavor twist.
