I’ve made zucchini cookies, cakes and cupcakes before and they’ve always turned out great. I love sneaking veggies into my cooking. It makes me feel better about eating some of them:) If you think zucchini doesn’t belong in cookies, think again. These cookies are delicious! My hubby and his personal trainer friends also approve! Gluten/Dairy Free. Serving size for the nutritional info is for 1 cookie. This recipes makes 16 cookies.
