Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup zucchini, grated
• 0.75 cup raisins
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup optional: chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the grated zucchini, raisins, rolled oats, and nuts if using.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Raisin Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days!
