Tips:

  • Use ripe zucchini: This will ensure that your cookies are moist and flavorful. You can grate the zucchini with the skin on or peel it first, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the 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 will make them dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter oatmeal zucchini cookies are a delicious and healthy way to use up any extra zucchini you have on hand. They're also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables! With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these cookies that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
