Thanks, Jesi. To be honest this is the very first time I hear about zucchini cookies, I had heard about zucchini pies before tho, but never thought this veggie would taste good in cookies!

You're welcome, I hope you guys like them . They're great, I love using zucchini in sweets- breads and pies and such. They still work with the sweetness but it's not cloyingly sweet at the same time, and it's easy to justify it being a little healthier, maybe? .

If you like chocolate chip cookies, this is a chocolate chip zucchini cookie recipe that you can add optional extras to, like nuts. It's supposed to be an excellent recipe.
