Fudge-like keto avocado chocolate cookies are a great way to use avocado in place of butter. The cookies are baked with almond flour making them gluten free too.
Although I am a big fan of butter, I had read how avocado can be used to replace it in cooking so thought I would give it a try. The result was a soft, brownie like cookie after 30 minutes in the oven. They were better the next day so a bit of will power is needed not to eat them all when they are out of the oven.
Since the mixture was very moist, I think you could possibly make this vegan by omitting the egg and it would firm up the cookie. I was also making some ice cream and made a cookie ice cream sandwich out of the last two. Delicious. I kicked myself for not doing it when I had more cookies left, as they were perfect for an ice cream sandwich!
How To Make Avocado Chocolate Cookies
Make sure you use a soft, ripe avocado. If it is a bit firm, wait a day or two. Mash up the avocado until the mixture is smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and mix until you have a soft dough. This can be mixed by hand or in a food processor. A food processor is quicker and you will get a smoother mixture.
Place balls of the dough on parchment paper and press down to bake. The avocado chocolate cookie mixture will not spread out.
