Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies image

In my efforts to use the abundance of zucchini in my garden I concocted this little cookie. I prefer my oatmeal cookies to have a little jazz, so if you are not a fan of ground cloves, they can be omitted. It's a not too sweet cake-like cookie that is perfect with your cup of coffee or tea.

Time 30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup butter, softened
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup shredded zucchini
½ cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets.
  • Stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl; set aside. Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Mix in the flour mixture and oats until just incorporated.
  • Wring the zucchini in a clean towel to remove any excess moisture. Stir the zucchini and raisins into the dough; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop batter by rounded teaspoonfuls 2-inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until the bottom edges turn golden brown.
