1-1/2 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Cornstarch
1/4 teaspoons Salt
3/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 cups Plus 1 Tablespoon Mashed Avocado
3/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed

1. Preheat oven to 350 F and lightly spray an 8-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
2
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
3
3. In a large bowl, beat together the mashed avocado and brown sugar. See note below about the avocado. Then add the egg yolks, vanilla and honey. Beat until well combined.
4
4. Stir the dry ingredients into the avocado mixture until well combined. Then, stir in the chocolate chips and candy corn until evenly dispersed. Your dough will be very wet and sticky.

5. Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet and smooth it with a spatula.

6. Bake for 45-50 minutes (see note below), until the cookie is a deep brown color. If topping with additional candy corn, lightly press them into the top of the cookie in the last 3-4 minutes of baking time to lightly melt them int the cookie. Remove from oven.

7. Let it stand for 10 minutes to cool a bit, then devour.

Notes:

1. If your avocado isn't super soft, and you can't get all the chunks out of it after beating it with the hand mixer, transfer the mixture to a small food processor and blend for a 1 minute. Then, transfer back to the big bowl.

2. I like my cookies a little bit gooey and underdone, so 45 minutes was perfect for me. If you want it a little more set, bake it for 50 minutes.

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

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
