Im planning on making some organic dark chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. Any suggestions for a base recipe

Im planning on making some (mostly) organic dark chocolate and macadamia nut cookies. Any suggestions for a base recipe?
I have pretty much all of the stuff that I think I would need…such as dark chocolate chips, chopped macadamia nuts, organic cane sugar and organic brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, unsweetened vanilla almond milk (prolly won’t need that, but might add a little instead of some of the water), butter….etc…

Also, I’m planning on substituting half of the butter with pureed avocado. I read in a cooking magazine that doing so will not only make the recipe healthier, but will also make the cookies softer and chewier. If anyone has any suggestions about using the avocado in place of butter, please lemme hear ‘em.

Thanks! :)

P.S. I know, I know…macadamia cookies are traditionally made with white chocolate. I’m mixing it up a bit. I love dark choc, plus it (70% cacao) is much healthier.
mmm…thinking about adding oatmeal too….

Try a traditional Toll House cookie recipe, just use your organic ingredients…It’s such a versatile recipe…we use it as a base for almost all of the cookies that we make at our deli. You can add, change…do just about anything to it…and it almost always turns out a great cookie!

Use a recipe for Mexican wedding cakes and sub the Macadamia nuts for the pecans. Make into ping pong ball sized balls and press to 1/2" with the bottom of a wet glass and bake. Melt the chocolate in a bowl (I use a hairdryer– it’s so easy that way!) Dip the bottoms of the cookies in the chocolate and turn upside down to dry. Flip them over and with fork wave chocolate ribbons over the tops of the cookies. If you want to go extra decadant you can also make thumbprint cookies and fill them with apricot jam.
