Vegan Chocolate Avocado Cookies

As a gal, I know that we all have our moments when we need chocolate -- ASAP. There will be times where I can't wait to have a bite of chocolate in my mouth. So, most of the time I try to eat healthy and I hate feeling guilty about indulging. This recipe will make you feel a little better about calorie-splurging.

This recipe is probably one of the healthiest cookie recipes you can find. It's vegan/dairy-free, gluten-free, paleo/primal, oil-free, and nut-free. You can't find very many recipes that fit into all of those categories! If a recipe is paleo and gluten-free, it most likely has nuts in it. But not this one. Plus, these cookies don't even taste healthy -- I pinky swear! They're decadent and chocolaty; and they won't make you feel guilty, like you ate a whole pan of brownies.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the avocado, sugar, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and cinnamon. Cream the ingredients until they are mushed together. Add in the flax/bourbon mixture and baking soda. You will have a beautiful, fudgy mixture.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the batter onto your prepared baking tray. I got about eight cookies from my batter. Space the cookies out. Leave the batter in round heaps; they will melt and spread a little. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes.

ingredients

• 1 medium-sized avocado, brown parts cut out
• 1/2 c. coconut sugar
