My mom is the most excellent cookie-baker I know. She has a knack for making soft, moist, chewy cookies that don't harden up after they're cooled. I've used several of her recipes but I still can't get it right! She has a delicious recipe for Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies for us today.
Why I Use Oats In My Cookie Recipes
Have you noticed I use oats quite often in my cookie recipes? It is all about the calories! 1 Cup of flour= 455 calories while 1 cup of rolled oats= 300 calories. Also, oats are better for us!
Do you need a cookie recipe for all those zucchinis the neighbors bring you? Here is a good one!
Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups oats

1/2 tsp soda
2 cups shredded zucchini

No doubt these cookies would be delicious. I love oat meal cookies, especially when someone else makes them. The little "ladies" are growing so fast and so adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo of your girls! And I am a library fan too. Just spent the morning picking up some books before making a stop at the grocery store. Thank-you for hosting!
