In my never ending quest to find some new and creative uses for the abundance of Zucchini we are harvesting daily, I stumbled upon this tasty recipe for Zucchini Cookies over at Hoosier Homemade.
As usual I made a few minor tweaks to suit my tastes, so below is the recipe as I made it. If you want to see the original recipe & some step by step photos please visit Hoosier Homemade! (and check out her cupcakes, oh my!)
Zucchini Cookies
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 – 1 ¼ cup grated zucchini (lightly packed in the cup)
- 2 cups flour: a blend of 1 ½ cup white, ½ cup wheat (I may use more wheat next time)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 375° F
In large bowl cream butter and sugar together until nice and smooth. Add egg and mix well. Stir in shredded zucchini.
In a medium bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda and spices, and whisk to mix well.
Stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until just moistened.
Gently fold in the raisins.
Drop by tablespoon full onto cookie sheet (I use a small cookie scoop to makes it easier)
Bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on pan about 1 minute before removing to wire rack.

These were super moist and very tasty, reminding me a little bit of a spicy oatmeal raisin cookie, but smoother. I may add a little ground flax seed to the flour mixture for a little more texture next time.
The boys were not so sure they wanted to eat Zucchini Cookies, but after a taste, they love them! Too bad, I was hoping to save more for me!
Now what to do with the rest of the Zucchini?? Any ideas?
