Avocado Cookies

I had heard previously about using avocado as a healthy replacement for butter in cookie recipes. It sounded a little far fetched, but I was curious. Jeron protested the idea, but I figured I could get him to eat it without knowing. I finally tried it the other night with fairly successful results. I used my regular, Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie recipe and replaced half the butter with mashed avocado. I think they turned out pretty good. A few differences included a slightly greenish tint, a lack of spreading in the oven, and a softer, chewier cookie. Jeron licked the beater and ate two cookies before I told him the difference. He felt a little misled, but seemed to like them alright. All this being said, I probably won't make them this way again.
