Posted on August 26, 2011 by 3Kyladies

This recipe offers a way to use up all that zucchini from the garden or frozen shredded zucchini. These are great cookies and your children will not even realize they are eating a vegetable in this little treat.

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup honey

2 eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated

1 cup raisins

2 cups quick-cooking oats

1 cup walnut pieces

Cream shortening and honey, add eggs and beat well. Mix in flours, spices, and zucchini and continue mixing. Fold in oats, raisins and nuts. Drop by tablespoons on a greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 3 to 4 dozen depending on size you make cookies. Enjoy!

Well, I give up Judy I looked everywhere and I still can’t find any place that sells seeds to grow zucchini oatmeal cookies? Think you could send me some? (lol) 😉

  Tom, You were just not quick enough. I pulled up the vines today and threw away the last zucchini. Wish I had known. I would have saved some of those cookie seed!

If you don’t have whole wheat flour can you use all purpose flour?

  Wendy, I think you could. I have not tried that way but most recipes you can use all purpose in place of whole wheat. Let me know how it turns out if you try it. Thanks.
