SPICY ZUCCHINI OATMEAL COOKIES



Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies image

In my efforts to use the abundance of zucchini in my garden I concocted this little cookie. I prefer my oatmeal cookies to have a little jazz, so if you are not a fan of ground cloves, they can be omitted. It's a not too sweet cake-like cookie that is perfect with your cup of coffee or tea.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe zucchini. The riper the zucchini, the more flavor it will have. Look for zucchini that is deep green and firm.
  • Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix 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 golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will allow them to set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic oatmeal cookie. They are made with whole wheat flour, oats, zucchini, and a variety of spices. These cookies are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini.
