This favorite old recipe means a lot to me, since it was given to me by a good friend. That friend, in turn, received it from her great-grandmother. I'm always looking for ways to use zucchini (I even add it to my spaghetti sauce), so this was a welcome addition to my recipe file.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: For the best results, use a medium-sized zucchini that is firm and free of blemishes. Avoid using zucchini that is too large or has a lot of seeds, as this will make the cookies too watery.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help to distribute the moisture evenly throughout the cookies and prevent them from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Zucchini raisin cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, flavorful, and packed with healthy ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini raisin cookies every time. These cookies are a great way to use up leftover zucchini, and they are also a healthy and delicious snack or dessert.
