DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat avocado with butter and sugars until fluffy; beat in egg. Meanwhile, stir oats with flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda and baking powder; add to avocado mixture, stirring until well combined. Stir in pear and raisins.
Arrange oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Bake batches, rotating pans once, for 20 to 22 minutes or until lightly browned all over. Transfer cookies directly to a rack to cool completely. Makes about 30 cookies.
Tip: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days or in the freezer for up to one month.
