ZUCCHINI OATMEAL COOKIES
Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies are a great way to use up all that zucchini from the garden or frozen shredded zucchini. Your children will not even realize they are eating a vegetable in these oatmeal cookies. These cookies are great snacks with a glass of milk, put them in lunch boxes or serve these cookies with coffee to your friends and family. I am always looking for ways to use up zucchini in the summer. My family loves oatmeal cookies and I make these a lot. This is a soft, chewy cookie that won’t last long. I always pull this recipe out of the box as soon as my zucchini starts producing in the summer months. These cookies keep well in an airtight container in a cool place. You could actually use 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour instead of 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in this recipe.
Zucchini oatmeal cookies will become a favorite.
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup honey
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour

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!
