1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour* 1 cup all-purpose flour (you can also use 2 1/2 cups of the white whole wheat flour and omit the all-purpose flour, if desired) 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1/2 cup finely mashed avocado from 1 large, ripe California Avocado** 4 oz. butter, at room temperature 1 cup light brown sugar 1 12-ounce semi-sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup white sugar 2 egg yolks, from 2 large eggs (save whites for another purpose or discard) 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium-size bowl. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the mashed avocado and butter until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the brown and white sugar and mix on medium speed until fluffy and well combined.

Note: *White Whole Wheat Flour is readily available at larger grocers and has all the nutritional benefits of regular whole wheat flour.

** Baking is an exact science. 1 large avocado is approximately 1/2 cup. Be sure to measure. If you have a bit of extra avocado reserve it for another use (it makes a wonderful sandwich spread).

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
