More with zucchini, swear

I found this recipe on Food52. I love lemon and I have plenty of zucchini to it was the perfect find. Really interesting and a nice change of pace.

Here is the recipe for zucchini lemon cookies which I doubled and it worked perfect. I thought this recipe made too few cookies for my brood.

2 cups All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch coarse salt
3/4 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cups sugar
1 Egg
2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
1 cup shredded zucchini

Preheat oven to 375.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Combine butter and sugar in a mixer, beat until light and fluffy.

Add egg and mix until incorporated. Add lemon zest and zucchini, mix until fully combined.

With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients until all of the flour has been added and is completely mixed in. Do not overbeat.

Drop by rounded teaspoon onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes, or until edges of cookie are golden

Yum.

Great to see the zucchini series. These cookies & the previous bakings looked yummy. Next will be zucchini flowers? It’s their time now.

Hi Joanne, how are you? My girlfriend and family are going to Paris in Sept. Do you have any recommendations for restaurants? You seem to have great taste, so I’d love to hear your suggestions!
