Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies
Prep: 30 min Cook: 30 min Servings: 40by Salad Foodie406 recipes>If you like a semi-soft, moist yet chewy cookie Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies should appeal to you. Overtime I have tried different zucchini cookie recipes. For this version I blended a few ideas from them and included some of my own. So far I like this best. Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, grated fine
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 3/4 cups oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2cup raisins or dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- Set oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 2 baking pans.
- In successive handfuls squeeze and discard excess water from grated zucchini, then fluff. Loosely pack and measure 1 ½ cups zucchini (or weigh 8 ounces.) Refrigerate any excess for other uses.
- In large mixing bowl beat together butter, white sugar and brown sugar; beat in egg and vanilla.
- In separate bowl stir together flour, oatmeal, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda and salt.
- Add dry ingredients, zucchini, raisins and nuts to butter and sugar mixture, mixing just until well blended.
- Drop by heaping teaspoons onto prepared baking pans. Bake one baking pan at a time for 12-15 minutes or until cookies are nicely browned (see photos.)
- Remove to wire rack and cool. Pack in an airtight container; if cookies start getting too soft during storage, leave lid slightly ajar (or refrigerate or freeze them.)
- About 3 ½ dozen.
