Peanut Butter Avocado Cookies

"I am always looking for good snacks that go along with my Nutritarian eating style. Avocado can be used instead of butter to make baked goods more nutritious. Leangreenbean.com had peanut butter chocolate chip cookies using avocado but I wanted to try a version without chocolate. These have turned out to be our favorite cookies. We usually have some in the freezer. They are good even without thawing. I frequently double the recipe so I can use the whole Hass avocado."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In 2011, I saw a PBS Special, 3 Steps to Incredible Health by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It inspired me to change to a Nutritarian cooking style, which focuses on the nutrient density of the foods you eat. Since that time, I have been collecting recipes. I have found a few recipes ready to go but most of them were either too complicated for everyday use or needed some changes to fit with this eating style.
