Hi friends!

I’m resharing these Peanut Butter Avocado Cookies today because even though it’s been six years since I first shared them, I still make them regularly and love them just as much! They’re packed with healthy fats and a fun way to change things up from a regular chocolate chip cookie. Plus, I promise you can’t taste the avocado. Check out how easy they are to make!

 

 

When I originally made them, it took about 4 tries to get them right. But now I’ve zoned in on the correct recipe and even my kids love them. I even entered AND WON a recipe contest with these little beauties several years ago!

Here’s how you make them:

 These cookies are so simple even my toddler can make them! Be sure to try them out next time you have an extra avocado laying around!
