Tips:

  • Use fresh, grated zucchini. This will give your cookies a moist and flavorful texture. If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough 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 the cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Zucchini nut cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different types of nuts, seeds, or dried fruit to the dough. You can also experiment with different spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger. No matter how you make them, zucchini nut cookies are sure to be a hit!
