About

Many gardeners look for ways to use zucchini, and this tender cookie is a delicious answer to an overabundance of the prolific grower. This cookie is so tasty and moist, you’ll be growing the squash just to make this treat, rather than the other way around. If you are making the recipe for kids, consider omitting the walnuts and substituting dried cranberries or raisins.
