LEMON ZUCCHINI COOKIES

I saw this recipe on a recent episode of Mr. Food and thought it looked very good. I haven't prepared this recipe yet.

Provided by Shellbelle

Time 20m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup grated zucchini, unpeeled
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon peel. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until the dry ingredients are mixed. Stir in the zucchini and nuts. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until cookies are golden around the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For the best texture, use fresh zucchini that is grated with the skin on.
  • Be sure to drain the excess moisture from the zucchini before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the cookies from being too wet.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes 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 result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Zucchini drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and have a hint of sweetness. Plus, they are a great way to use up any extra zucchini you may have on hand. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give zucchini drop cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
