Ingredients

  • 2⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅔ cup ripe avocado, mashed (about ½ large avocado)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Set oven and prepare baking sheets. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Make the batter. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    In another medium-sized mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to mix the butter with the avocado, olive oil, both sugars and vanilla. Mix until it's very smooth and slightly lighter in texture. Add the egg and mix to blend. Then add the flour mixture and only mix until it's incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Shape. Use two small spoons or a 1½ inch cookie scoop, to shape the batter into balls that are about ⅛ cup. Place them on the parchment-lined baking sheets as you go, about two inches apart. Gently press each one down a bit with the palm of your hand, to flatten them just slightly.
  • Bake. Bake the cookies in the preheated 350°F oven for about 12 to 14 minutes. They should be very soft when they are removed from the oven, and will firm up as they cool.
  • Cool. Let them cool on the baking sheets for about 15 minutes.
