These avocado chocolate chip cookies have such a fun green color with added health benefits! A variation of my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, these cookies use an avocado instead of butter, replacing saturated fats with healthier unsaturated fats. I made these for Saint Patrick’s Day, but they are also a great healthy alternative.
