2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup avocado, fresh
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
With a mixer, cream the avocado until smooth. Add sugars, mix to incorporate. Add the vanilla, and then eggs, one at a time. Mix until smooth. Add the flour mixture and gently mix to incorporate. Mix in the chocolate chips.

These cookies are best enjoyed the same day they are baked.
