Zucchini Cookies





I would not change a thing about these cookies. They are sweet-addictive-cakey discs of temptation. & you can have some too!

Cream together: 3/4 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup sugar, & 1/2 cup brown sugar.

Add & beat until fluffy: one egg.

Sift together in separate bowl: 1.5 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup flour, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, salt, & 1/2 tsp cloves.

Add to creamed mixture alternately with dry ingredients: 1.5 cups shredded zucchini.

Add optionally
a) raisins & walnuts.
b) chocolate chips & vanilla (perhaps then leaving out the cinnamon & cloves).
c) all of the above.

(We took option c minus the walnuts.)

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes. (Don't let batter stand for long or it will get watery.)

Favorite Song for today (led to in a more or less direct way by my favorite radio station):

(They also have a playlist of Bob Dylan tracks up, in honor of his 70th birthday today. I rather like that. They played Everything is Broken on the regular channel as well as Knockin' on Heaven's Door.)
