There's avocado in your Pure Fare chocolate cookies
Love avocado and love chocolate, but never thought they'd play nice together outside a gelato cup — until we got our hands on the chocolate avocado cookies at Pure Fare (119 S. 21st St.). "I love manipulating fresh ingredients so that they still come out tasting like dessert," says Pure Fare chef Sarah Ginn, who takes fresh avocado purée and mixes it with garbanzo bean flour, chocolate chips and Succanat (an unadulterated cane sugar product) as a sweetener. The resultant cookie, which is both vegan and gluten-free, has a cakey, brownie-like texture, with a hint of avocado creaminess that does well taking on butter's responsibilities; you'll be a fan if you're into the off-sweet taste of proper dark chocolate. It's not the only treat of this type Ginn produces, either — she's also doing chocolate cookies using bananas as a base ingredient.

Sarah told me these were vegan, too, but every time I go in, the ingredient list for these particular cookies contains egg. Not sure what to think? I will ask again next time I am in, but I'm guessing they are labeled incorrectly.— onthevedge- I tried this cookie and was kinda disappointed, it tasted oily.— ButtonButtonFace
