A new kind of cookie!

CrazyKell · 01-27-2009, 02:56 PM

I recently discovered I loooooove avocado!

A friend mentioned that they used it in a cookie recipe.

Being unemployed this sounded like a perfect Tuesday afternoon project!

110g/1/2 cup butter, softened

125g/ 1/2 cup peeled, mashed avocado flesh (about 1/2 avocado)

100g/ 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

100g/ 1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

150g/1 cup plain flour (or whole wheat pastry flour)

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

180g/2 cups rolled oats

50g/1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)

170g/6 oz chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas. Beat the butter until smooth, add the sugars and beat for 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Gently beat in the avocado until blended.

2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.

3. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt into the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats and coconut. Fold through the chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).

4. Drop into tablespoonful-sized balls onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy.

Let me just say.....some of the yummiest cookies I have ever tasted!

I love me some cookies...But I'm not a fan of avocado

I don't see a requirement for one heart filled with love for Jesus, so I'm not eating this cookie.

Sorry, rules are rules.
