Please don’t turn the page because of the ingredients in this recipe. I discovered a way of hiding zucchini in a cookie, and nobody will know it’s there! We want our children snacking on wholesome foods, and they want the good stuff. Guess what — this is the good stuff!! It’s a soft, moist (due to the minced zucchini) cookie with just a hint of spice to it. Tastes even better straight from the freezer.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) trans-fat free margarine (use soy-free, if needed)

  • 3 tablespoons oil

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 and 3/4 cups Shibolim White Whole Wheat Flour or other whole wheat pastry flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon Gefen Cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • pinch of nutmeg

  • pinch of ground cloves

  • 1 cup minced zucchini (approx. 1 and 1/2 medium zucchinis)

  • 1/2 cup ground blanched almonds

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or Glicks Chocolate Chips

Directions

Prepare the Cookies

1.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.

Gradually add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and spices to the creamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in zucchini, almonds, and chocolate chips.

3.

Drop by tablespoonful, or use a small scoop, onto baking sheets lined with Gefen Parchment Paper. Bake for 14 minutes or until lightly browned.

4.

In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, and beat well until incorporated.

Tips:

Mince zucchini in the food processor using the knife attachment. Brush down the bowl twice so everything is finely minced. You can use 2 zucchini, and freeze the leftovers (marked, of course!) for later use in soup, hamburgers, etc.

Notes:

The cookies will still be soft, but will harden somewhat when cooling. Store in the freezer.
