Ingredients
Scale
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, ensuring it’s evenly distributed in the dough. If using, also fold in the optional chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust to your desired consistency.
Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top and allow it to set before serving.
