Zucchini Cookies

Posted on by 4 comments

Oh-My-Goodness are these cookies good! Who would think adding zucchini to a cookie would make them so moist and yummy? These tasty gems came out soft and moist in the middle, almost like a cake, but had the slight crunch of a cookie on the outside. Delicious. Ok, now that I’ve bragged about them enough, go make some ASAP. You won’t be disappointed.
