Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that feel heavy for their size. Avoid large zucchini, as they tend to have more seeds and a higher water content, which can make your cookies watery.
  • Shred the zucchini finely. This will help the zucchini blend into the cookie dough and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will also help prevent the cookies from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly.
