Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup finely grated zucchini
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

These cookie sandwiches are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the zucchini bread batter and the cream cheese filling.

I found that the zucchini bread batter was a little too thick, so I added an extra egg. The cookie sandwiches turned out perfectly after that.
