Ingredients

  • 2 Avocados, halved and pit removed *See note for substitutions
  • 3 tablespoon egg whites
  • 1/2 cup Syntrax Matrix 2.0 Mint Cookie Protein Powder
  • 1/2 cup Syntrax Nectars Sweets Chocolate Truffle Protein Powder
  • 2 tablespoon double dutch dark cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar (for sugar free use 3/4 cup Splenda and 2 tablespoon cornstarch – put in a food processor until a find powder
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate or mint chocolate chips *optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Place the avocado flesh in a food processor and process until creamy and smooth.
  3. Transfer the avocado puree to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
  4. Add in the egg whites and beat for 2 minutes.
  5. Add in the mint extract and beat to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl add the Protein Powders, cocoa, corn starch, baking powder, and confectioners’ sugar and whisk to combine.
  7. With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry mix a little at a time.
  8. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  9. When all the dry mix has been added, add in the chips and mix just until combined (maybe 10 seconds on low).
  10. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
  11. Take 1 1/2 heaping tablespoons of the mixture and place on the parchment paper. You can mound it as it’ll spread slightly. Place 1 ½” apart (I got 16 on a 14”x16” tray).
  12. Bake for 8-9 minutes until set. They will be slightly soft.
  13. Place the pan on a cooling rack for 3 minutes.
  14. Using a metal spatula, gently remove the cookies from the parchment and place on the cooling rack. They will be soft and almost cake-like.
  15. Cool completely prior to storage.
  16. To store, place a piece of wax paper or parchment between each cookie.
  17. Store in air tight container.

Notes

If you do not have avocados, you can use 1 cup softened unsalted butter or 1 cup softened (NOT MELTED!) coconut oil
