#39. Avocado Candy Bar Cookies

Yes, you read correctly. These cookies have a split personality: wholesome for their use of healthful avocado fats (instead harmful animal ones from butter) YET chock full o’ chunks of candy bars.

Does the latter vice cancel out the former virtue? I think not.

The plant lipids take the suppleness of these cookies to eleven and only contribute the mildest of botanical flavor.
