Instructions
How to Prepare the Dough
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl whisk together the brown sugar, white granulated sugar, eggs, avocado oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

How to Form and Bake the Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, form a ball and place it on a cookie sheet.
- Place them about 3 inches apart, as these cookies don't spread much. However, you can gently flatten them with the back of a spoon if desired.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes and enjoy them warm!
Notes
- I found that using my hands was the best way to mix and form the cookie dough.
- These avocado oil chocolate chip cookies are soft, thick, and cakey—this is the texture they were meant to have because of the avocado oil. So, try not to substitute the main ingredients, as it would change the entire recipe, including the texture.
- It’s important to note that the dough can be slightly looser than regular cookie dough, so when forming the cookies, make sure to use either a large spoon or an ice cream scoop.
- Try to measure the flour accurately, as being imprecise with the amount can result in an unusual texture.
