Avocado Oatmeal Cookies

Today I made some guacamole and added in
too much red onion that just over powered it.
So what to do with the left over onion guacamole?
Avocado cookies seemed like the right thing to do.
With oatmeal and some shredded coconut in to boot.
Really good tasting, bet you can't eat just one!
You don't need the red onion in your cookies.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup avocado, peeled and mashed
