Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup(s) butter softened
2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
2 - eggs
2 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1 - orange rind grated
3 cup(s) finely grated zucchini (unpeeled)
4 cup(s) flour
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 1/2 cup(s) butterscotch chips
3 cup(s) granola cereal

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar. Mix in the egg, vanilla, orange rind, and zucchini. Add in the flour and baking soda. Mix in the granola cereal. Then mix in the butterscotch chips. Grease a cookie sheet and put teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Zucchini: Select firm and tender zucchini with a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has blemishes.
  • Grating the Zucchini: Use a box grater to grate the zucchini. Grating the zucchini helps to release its moisture and makes it easier to incorporate into the cookie dough.
  • Mixing the Dough: Be sure to mix the cookie dough until it is just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking allows the flavors to meld and makes the dough easier to handle.
  • Baking the Cookies: Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and set in the center. Overbaking can result in dry cookies.
  • Cooling the Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This helps the cookies to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Zucchini granola cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast treat. They are packed with the goodness of zucchini, oats, and nuts. These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With their unique flavor and texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
