Avocado cookies are crispy, creamy and light. Creamy and rich avocado is considered the world’s healthiest fruit, because of its nutrient contents such as vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin C, carotenoids, vitamin E and copper. Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, including oleic acid, which has recently been shown to offer significant protection against breast cancer.
Avocado has a soft and creamy texture, just like butter. Naturally, avocado will give the dough slight green color which it maintains even after it’s baked. Because of the slightly tart flavor and the green color, these cookies work really well with green tea.
