Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies

Good morning! Today the Coller Kids are headed out for our weekly library day! It's beautiful, sunny, and roasting hot! Hope you all are having a great week!

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
mix:     1/2 cup oil
            3/4 cup sugar
            1 egg
            1 tsp vanilla extract
            2 cups oats
stir in: 1 1/2 cups flour
            1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
            1/2 tsp soda
            2 cups shredded zucchini

Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350ยบ for 10 minutes.

Thanks for stopping by the Homemaking Party. I'm excited to see what you've got to share!

  5. 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.
