RE: Healthy Eating! | Avocado Cookies? Yes, and Chocolate Too!
FOR TSE: I love avocados. Srsly I do. But I just can't get behind the idea of them in cookies. (Or that godawful-sounding vegan "chocolate pudding" made with avocados I see around from time to time.)
Some things just weren't meant to be. Love you anyway.
Its okay @enchanatedspirit, I totally understand! I am not offended :) I would have never thought of trying avocados in the dishes I make but once I did I was shocked (in a good way, lol) I think the combination of green...and guacamole comes to mind! Scary, yes!
FOR TSE: Intellectually I can say this makes sense. Avocados are basically a natural fat -- so it would substitute for shortening. But avocados do have their own unique flavor. Can't you taste that in the cookies? C'mon now, be honest.
lol, being totally honest, the cocoa and chocolate chips are all you taste! A hint of oats but really honestly, no avocado. That is the amazing part about using avocado in recipes. I also use them in smoothies too....they are totally masked by the fruits and veggies you put in the smoothie! Just try it, perhaps half of an avocado :) I really think you'll be surprised. Let me know if you do okay? Otherwise we'll agree with guac, on toast, sliced like an apple, I am totally with you on that!!!! Its a great fruit!
Mmmm, chocolate.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
I love this! Both your comment and your character here :) Thank you doctor!! Appreciate the endorsement!
If I hated them (the cookies) I'd be mad at myself for ruining perfectly good avocados on something I was iffy about from the start. Avocado toast, you bet! Guacamole ... bring it on. ABLT's? Oh, yum!! Even sliced and eaten the way you would an apple works fine. But cookies? (Oh, wait a minute!!!)
