FROSTED ZUCCHINI BROWNIES
These are so moist and chocolaty. A recipe passed down from my mother-in-law who passed away 10 years ago. The first time I made these my husband and I cried as he said, 'This is my mom!' So to honor a special woman whose 5 food groups were chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, brownies, chocolate candy, and chocolate ice cream, I give you the ultimate brownie recipe!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, grated zucchini. Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture, which makes the cookies moist and tender.
- To prevent the cookies from becoming too brown, bake them at a moderate temperature (350°F) and watch them closely.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
These Frosted Zucchini Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, tender, and full of flavor. The cream cheese frosting adds a delicious finishing touch. Whether you are looking for a sweet snack or a dessert to serve at a party, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
