Number Of Ingredients 19

Cookies
1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute 2 cups all-purpose flour for 4 cups total)
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups grated zucchini (about 1 large or 2 medium zucchini)
Brown Sugar Glaze
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup milk
2 cups confectioners (powdered sugar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until fluffy and pale - about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and mix until completely blended. Add the vanilla and mix.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low (or stir by hand) just until the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be stiff.
  • Add the zucchini and mix just until incorporated.
  • Scoop the cookies in approximately 2-tablespoon increments, about 2 inches apart, onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with silicone mat. (Do you have a cookie scoop yet? It will change your life!)
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the cookies are set and light golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make brown sugar glaze. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar. Stir for about 2 minutes, until sugar is dissolved. Gradually add milk and, increasing heat to medium, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. As soon as it comes to a boil, remove from heat and slowly whisk in powdered sugar, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and pinch salt. Cool for about 20 minutes.
  • Hold cookies by the bottom and dip the tops into the glaze. Set right-side up on cookie rack. Cool until glaze sets.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a few months.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. I love the crunch from the nuts and the moistness from the zucchini.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but these cookies were amazing! I would never have guessed that they had zucchini in them.

I found the cookies to be a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg yolk next time.

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used chocolate chips instead of nuts and they were still delicious. My family loved them.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these cookies. I'm not usually a fan of zucchini in desserts, but it really worked in this recipe. The cookies were soft and chewy, with a nice crunch from the nuts. The brown sugar icing was the perfe
