This avocado recipe hack shaves 1,105 Calories off the traditional recipe on the back of chocolate chip bags. That’s 31 calories less per cookie. 31 calories may not seem like much, but who eats just one cookie?!
My family thought I was nuts, but they unanimously agree that this recipe even tastes better and has a creamier texture. Avocado also has more vitamins.
Example: 1 cup/230g butter = 1627 calories, 585% of Daily Value of saturated fat. Traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe calls for 1 cup butter. 1 cup/230g avocado = 368 calories, 32% of Daily Value of saturated fat.
