Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup zucchini, grated
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the grated zucchini, raisins, rolled oats, and nuts if using.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Raisin Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
