Dark Chocolate Avocado Super Fudgy Cookies

Super fudgy, dark chocolate cookies made with one bowl and seven ingredients – none of which are flour or dairy! 

Dark Chocolate Avocado Super Fudgy Cookies

That’s right. Avocado cookies. I’ve done it again. I’m adding weird ingredients to things. Sorrynotsorry. 

But these cookies? Oh, man. These cookies. I brought these into my office and I got no less than 10 compliments on them, 5 people stole a second (and third) cookie, and 1 tried to walk away with the whole container. If people try to steal entire batches of things that I make, I consider them a success.

I can’t just call these fudgy cookies – they’re super fudgy cookies. So fudgy, in fact, that I’m going to go ahead and make these as brownies next time. They’re perfectly delicious and bite-sized as cookies, but they’re moist and a little heavy, so they’re not crisp like a normal cookie might be. You can’t make these as giant cookies, because they would just fall apart when you try to pick them and turn themselves into little chunks of fudgy cookie… or, you know, brownies. 

Side note: I highly recommend using Ghirardelli’s 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips. I’m never without a bag of them in my pantry, and they’re absolutely perfect for these cookies.

Because of a ripe avocado’s similar consistency to butter and subtle flavor when baked, it’s the perfect substitute. There’s not even a complicated ratio between the two – it’s one-to-one. So if you’re low on avocados, you could also use room temperature butter. But seriously, use avocados. You won’t regret it. 
 
I tried adding a little powdered sugar on top, but it just absorbed into the cookies so you couldn’t even see it! Then I tried both kosher salt and sparkling sugar, and they were both delicious. I recommend topping with kosher salt because I’m big on the whole sweet + salty thing. Or, just leave them plain – they’ll get gobbled up either way!
 
And if you’re anything like me, feel free to pile them as high as you can… just because. It makes a good conversation starter.

    Made these with an egg substitute because of allergies. They came out unbelievable. Every one went crazy over them.
