Ok... I know this sounds crazy and weird. Green tea in cookies?! Avocado in cookies?! How could this be a cookie?! How could this even taste good?! I swear these cookies are delicious, AND they are healthy. Win win!! Eating dessert can be healthy and guilt free. :) These cookies are also vegan too!
By the way, green tea has so many awesome health benefits, and these cookies give you a little energy boost. :)
Here's what you need:
1 cup flour
1/2 avocado
1/3 cup ground flaxseed
3-4 green tea bags (and water)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/5th of a celery stalk finely chopped
What to do:
1. Mix all of the dry ingredients, which includes the flour, baking soda salt, cinnamon, flaxseed, and chocolate chips in one bowl. Set aside.
2. Chop up 1/5th of a celery stalk into very very small pieces. Then mash it up with the avocado and unsweetened applesauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
3. Heat up 6oz. of water in the microwave for about 1 minute. Then add 3-4 green tea bags into the water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
