Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Cooking spray or oil mister (optional); 1/2 cup raw sugar; 1/3 cup unpacked dark brown sugar; 1/4 cup mashed avocado; 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce; 1 large egg white; 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; 1/2 cup (65 grams) white whole wheat unbleached flour (I recommend King Arthur); 1/3 cup (50 grams) all-purpose flour; 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Trader Joe's); 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chunks; 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

Servings: persons

Cooking spray or oil mister (optional)
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/3 cup unpacked dark brown sugar
1/4 cup mashed avocado
1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (65 grams) white whole wheat unbleached flour (I recommend King Arthur)
1/3 cup (50 grams) all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use Trader Joe's)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Line 2 regular baking sheets with silicone baking mats (such as Silpats) or lightly spray nonstick baking sheets with oil.
2
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whisk together the sugars, avocado, applesauce, egg white, and vanilla until the sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold in the dry ingredients with a spatula in two additions. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chunks and walnuts. The dough will be very sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate 15 minutes.
4
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets and smooth the tops.
5
Bake until almost set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
