Tips:
- Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini with a box grater or food processor fitted with a grating disc. Ensure to squeeze out excess moisture using a cheesecloth or paper towels to prevent cookies from becoming too moist.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps firm it up, making it easier to handle and less likely to spread too much during baking.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature and bake the cookies for the specified time. Underbaking will result in soft, gooey cookies, while overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the Cookies Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container. This helps them set and prevents them from becoming too soft.
