What to do with those end-of-season monster zucchini? Char shared a recipe for Lemon Zucchini Cookies....
Lemon Zucchini Cookies
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tsp. + grated lemon peel
1 1/2 TBSP. lemon juice
1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini, (no seeds).
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Set aside the lemon juice and extra lemon peel. Cream butter and sugar, add egg. Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, 1 tsp lemon peel, zucchini and nuts. Drop by spoonful onto cookie sheets, bake 350 degrees 15 - 20 mins until lightly browned, cool on racks, drizzle or spread (I tend to make the frosting a bit thicker than Mom did so it doesn't run off) with frosting while warm.
Frosting - mix 1 cup of confectionery sugar and 1 1/2 TBSP lemon juice, plus a little lemon peel.
