Chocolate, Avocado & Sea Salt Cookies

Sarah Pachelli, is an incredible nutritional chef in NYC. A client of hers asked if she could make these Goop cookies but adjust the recipe to fit her dietary needs. The original recipe has butter and flour and sugar and, she worked her magic to make a cookie sans all three. Coconut oil was swapped for butter, a teff/almond mixture for white flour and maple for refined sugar. Bet your bottom dollar these are better.

These ooey gooey fudgy dark chocolate cookies are my weakness, and I usually make a double batch because a dozen just won’t cut it. I also recommend storing these in the fridge or freezer! Just another warning: these are incredibly addicting…

3. In another bowl, whisk together the teff flour, almond flour, cacao powder, baking powder, and sea salt.

4. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir in the dark chocolate chips, cover the batter, and let chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Thats it! I like to store these in the freezer but the fridge works great too! Enjoy! xx
