Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies | made with Avocado
The Christmas before my mom got really sick, she signed us up for a cookie exchange. This was something she NEVER did and was so out of character for her. She had found this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe made with avocados and wanted to try it.
Well, she was in so much pain the night before the exchange that she wasn’t able to help me make the cookie but was the best “backseat” baker (from the couch mind you).
Over the past few years I have made them my own and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies with Avocados have become a must have!! They are a family tradition and something we look forward to each year!!
