Easter Avocado Cookies
Easter Avocado Cookies get a nice colour from the added avocado. Avocados are an alternative to butter, eggs, oil etc. Their creamy nature makes them a good substitute . They increase the nutritional value in recipes. This is a nice little site to get some great avocado dessert recipes: https://www.foodandwine.com/desserts/11-avocado-desserts-try?

I use avocados daily in my kitchen I mash and spread them over bread instead of mayonnaise. They are an additive for salads and I even mash them in gnocchi. This recipe is coming soon.
The Ingredients for Easter Avocado Cookies
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mashed fresh avocado
- 2 eggs
- zest of an orange
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- coloured sugar for coating
The Process
In a bowl place the flour, baking soda and salt. Mash the avocado and place with the butter. Beat together until smooth. Add the sugar, orange zest and beat some more.
Now put in the eggs one at a time. When they are incorporated pour in the orange juice. Slowly add the flour mixture and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll into balls and roll each ball into the sugar coating. I used 1 tbsp of dough for each cookie.
Slightly flatten each ball using the back of a tsp.
Bak at 350 F for 10 minutes. Let cool and serve on a pretty bunny platter.
