AVOCADO RITZ ON A BUDGET

Avocado Ritz on a Budget image

True avocado ritz is normally made with prawns (or shrimp), but this budget version using canned tuna is also delish! I normally serve this as a starter, but have occasionally had one or two avo halves as a lunch or summer main meal.

Tips:

• Perfect avocados. The recipe calls for ripe avocados. To check for ripeness, gently squeeze the avocado. It should yield to gentle pressure. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy. • Chilling the dough. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in a thicker, chewier cookie. • Creaming the butter and sugar. Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is important for creating a smooth and flavorful cookie. Be sure to cream them together for at least 2 minutes. • Adding the eggs one at a time. Adding the eggs one at a time helps prevent the batter from curdling. Be sure to beat each egg in thoroughly before adding the next one. • Stir in the dry ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. • Chill the dough balls. Chilling the dough balls for at least 15 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. This results in a thicker, chewier cookie. • Bake the cookies. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown. • Let the cookies cool. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These Avocado Ritz Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. The avocado adds a creamy texture and a boost of nutrients. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
