ZUCCHINI OATMEAL COOKIES

This recipe offers a way to use up all that zucchini from the garden or frozen shredded zucchini. These are great cookies and your children will not even realize they are eating a vegetable in this little treat.

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup honey
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated
1 cup raisins
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup walnut pieces
 
Cream shortening and honey, add eggs and beat well.  Mix in flours, spices, and zucchini and continue mixing.  Fold in oats, raisins and nuts.  Drop by tablespoons on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 10 to 12 minutes.   Makes 3 to 4 dozen depending on size you make cookies.  Enjoy!

  2. I love this recipe and I think my girlfriends would like this for dessert at game night this week. However, school starts Monday and I’m not sure I will have time to bake but this will be one I definitely will try soon, yum!

  3. Oh these look good too. I’m enjoying catching up on all I missed last week. I just love anything with zucchini.

  4. Well, I give up Judy I looked everywhere and I still can’t find any place that sells seeds to grow zucchini oatmeal cookies? Think you could send me some? (lol) ;-)
