    Zucchini Cookies are Like Sweet Bites of Tender Zucchini Bread

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on September 25, 2021 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This naturally dairy-free zucchini cookies recipe was shared many years ago in the Salt Lake City Tribune. It’s a wonderful way to enjoy the late summer into early fall harvest, and we love stashing these cookies in lunch boxes. When made with dried cranberries, they’re also a fun holiday cookie. They’re made with oil instead of butter, and have a soft texture, almost like zucchini bread in a cookie!

    Author: Mary Lou Kulsick
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 36 cookies
    Ingredients
    • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ½ cup sugar
    • ½ cup packed brown sugar
    • ½ cup oil
    • 1 cup finely grated zucchini
    • 1 egg
    • 1 cup dried cranberries, raisins, or dairy-free chocolate chips
    • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    3. In a mixing bowl, mix the sugar, brown sugar, and oil. Add the zucchini and egg and mix well.
    4. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture, and stir until well combined. Fold in the cranberries, raisins, chocolate chips, and/or nuts, as desired.
    5. Drop the batter by the heaping teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet.
    6. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set and golden around the edges.
    7. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for one minute, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
    Notes
    Icing Drizzle Option: Put ½ cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Add ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon dairy-free milk beverage. Whisk until smooth. Add more milk beverage, just ½ teaspoon or so, as needed to reach your desired consistency.
