These avocado cookies are surprisingly amazing. I made this recipe up with my fingers crossed hoping that it would be as yummy as I imagined it to be.
I’ve been trying to think of cookie combinations I could make with my Nutella balls. I got a little out of hand while making them for another recipe and had a ton leftover.
My Struggle
Staring over at the counter, I noticed the avocados. I was going back and forth on whether I should be crazy enough to stick some in my cookies.
As insane as it sounded, I kept thinking about how good Nutella and avocado was on toast, so why wouldn’t that combo in a cookie be just as delicious?
I grabbed the ingredients, my mixer, and hoped for the best. I got mixing and quickly realized how distasteful the color was.
To be honest, overlooking the color was tough. When I tried the dough I was still a little skeptical because the taste wasn’t exactly where I wanted it to be.
I tried reminding myself that it was avocado I put in there. I kept going though because I knew the Nutella and the added sugar would probably change my mind.
Oh boy, was I right? It was the perfect combination. It wasn’t super sweet which means I’d be able to enjoy more than one in a sitting.

Nutella Stuffed Avocado Cookies
Ingredients
Refrigerated and Dairy
- 1/3 cup butter, softened
Baking, Spices and Condiments
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup sugar, powdered
- 1/4 cup sugar, granulated for rolling the cookies in before baking
Instructions
- Make the filling.In a bowl, combine Nutella and powdered sugar, then mix together until smooth. Use a 1 inch scoop to make into balls. Place balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and place in freezer.
- Make the cookies.In a bowl, combine avocado, vanilla, butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until fully blended. Add in baking soda, salt and flour and mix on medium speed until combined. Don't over blend.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Scoop the cookie dough and flatten like a pancake. Roughly 2×2 inches. Place a frozen Nutella ball on top and fold the dough up to wrap around the frozen ball of Nutella. Make sure it's completely sealed by rolling it into a ball between your two palms. Add more cookie dough if needed to fully cover frozen ball. (This mixture is sticky so I sprayed my fingers with cookie spray to keep it from sticking).
- Place granulated sugar in a small bowl, roll the stuffed cookie dough balls in the sugar and place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake until the cookies are golden, 12-15 minutes. Eat up and Enjoy!
