• ½ c granulated sugar
• 1 c mashed avocado, about 2 avocados

DIRECTIONS

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a medium sized bowl and set aside. 
3. In a large bowl, combine both sugars and the mashed avocado. Beat until creamy, about 30 seconds (I used an electric mixer). 
4. Add eggs (one by one) and beat, then add vanilla and beat again.
5. Add flour mixture in two batches, mixing well between each. 
6. Using a spoon, mix in chocolate chips (and pistachios) until combined. 
7. Drop mixture in rounded tablespoons (you could also do rounded teaspoons for smaller cookies) onto a non-greased cookie sheet. 
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
