These cookies are pretty tasty. If you make them larger than "walnut-sized" increase baking time by at least 5 minutes. Adding chocolate chips makes them even better!
I love avocados. I had a lone one chilling in my house and wanted to use it in a creative way. I spotted this recipe a while back and felt that today was the best day to try it. However, I really do not like these cookies.
I followed the recipe, so that wasn't the issue. I think it'a my tastebuds. I took one bite into the cookie and thought they tasted very weird. Avocado naturally has a subtle yet unique taste. It's fruity yet buttery, savory yet sweet. In this recipe, a new side of avocado is displayed: one that isn't overshadowed by eggs, bacon or toast; one that isn't mixed together with tomato, lemon, red onions and more to make guacamole. I'm used to avocado being the palate, not the star. In these cookies, they are the star, and paired with the butter, they seemed overwhelming to me. Like really strange butter cookies.
I really wanted to love these cookies - the color is beautiful, making them was fun, and they smell great. But I am not a fan. I am a fan of the creativity behind this recipe, though!
These cookies are very yummy! Our kids loved it and definitely taste good with milk, or coffee! The outline of the cookie is crunchy but the middle is soft and cakey.. we liked it ALOT!
I used a whole avocado and added chocolate chips. These were fluffy and delicious and mine ended up being green (perfect since I made them at Christmas time). The dough smelled almost like pizza dough but the cookies taste like regular delicious fluffy cookies. Thanks for the recipe!
What a surprise find! I was looking for a different cookie and ran across this unique ingredient cookie. I happened to have one avocado that I needed to use it or lose it. I made it as written but did dip the tops in turbinado sugar before baking. Using my small (3-bites for me 2-bites for DH) cookie scoop I got 74 cookies from a single batch. That is enough to share with several people. The cookies took 9 minutes in my electric oven and baked up crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The flavor is very gentle with this cookie kind of reminds me of a sugar cookie. Definitely not an avocado but kind of like a creamy texture of an avocado. I know that sounds really weird but they are very good and you should try them for yourself to really understand what I'm trying to explain.
Delicious recipe! Super easy to make - I love that the bottom of the cookie turns out slightly harder and the middle is soft! I added semi-sweet chocolate chips. Everyone I've made them for loves them.
Great Cookies! My husband and I will make these again!
These cookie taste great! Very subtle flavor not overly sweet... Really addictive.
I made this recipe using macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips. I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and also sprinkled a cinnamon/sugar mix on top. they were amazing!!!
