Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies

These are awesome! I made them with raisins but without nuts and they are a perfectly soft, not too sweet cookie. Great way to use up my zucchini.

I just made these and I think they are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made.

I did embellish the recipe, however. I was trying to find a use for the plethora of tomatoes that I had, so I was hoping to find a tomato cookie recipe. Since I couldn't find anything suitable I decided to look for zucchini cookie recipes.

Well, I used I cup of grated zucchini and 1 cup of chopped up tomatoes (mostly yellow). I just threw them into the food processor so there wouldn't be any big lumps or seeds. I also used craisins and dried blueberries because I had no raisins.

Otherwise, I followed the recipe and I am so pleased. They are soft and moist with those wonderful crispy edges. Definitely, a Winner!

I made these for my 20 month old because he won't eat many veggies and figured this was a good way to get some down him! I used 2 c. brown sugar instead of white sugar though and not sure if that changed the bake time but found they needed about 13-15min. They are great! We all love them!!

Lost my Zuchinni cookie recipe and came across this one. Love that this adds oatmeal, but recipe doesn't specify which type, so I used what I had which was whole oats. I also added 1/2 c raisins and 1/2 c chocolate chips, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cloves, used only 3 cups oats and 1/2 c of milled flax seed, also 1c sugar and 1/2 cup honey instead of 2c sugar. They were yummy without seeming indulgent! A great healthy-ish treat!

I made this recipe at about 5300 feet and the only altitude adjustment I made was baking at 375°F instead of 350°F. The cookies turned out nice and soft and didn't spread much at all. After the first batch, I added another teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice since I felt like they weren't very flavorful with just the cinnamon.

Added extra oatmeal and nuts, frosted after cool. Are wonderful. Freeze great too.

 Marilyn (Kansas) says:
The dough was very dry I had to wet my hands and make into balls and flatten them out. I also had to bake them longer that 12 minutes. They are very good but a lot of trouble. I may add applesauce if I make them again.

I used Cranberry flavored Craisin's and Orange peel. These are our favorite cookies. Makes me wish I had a zucchini garden!
