Zucchini Cookies

 

3/4 c. softened unsalted butter

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 c. grated zucchini

2 1/2 c. unbleached flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. chopped walnuts

Mix all ingredients together.  Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet until golden brown – approximately 12 minutes.

This recipe takes me back to the summer of 1985 and a day I spent with my Aunt Louise, whom we affectionately called ” Weezie”.  She had an abundance of zucchini in her garden that year and together we came up with this recipe.  Trial and error, lots of taste testing. A very sweet memory.  I hope your days spent baking are filled with laughter and the creation of fond memories for years to come.

Enjoy!
