Frosted Zucchini Cookies image

Friends and family gladly share garden-fresh zucchini with me so I can make and give away many batches of these cookies. I keep shredded zucchini in the freezer so we can enjoy them in winter as well. A cream cheese frosting makes them especially delicious. -Michele Bretz-Hysong, Massillon, Ohio
