Iced Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies

if your garden is anything like mine this year it is slow on tomatoes and huge on squash.

So here you have two varieties of zucchini cookies: yum!!!


zucchini chocolate chip cookies
3 eggs
1 c. oil
3/4 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 c. grated zucchini
2 t. vanilla
4-4 1/2 c. flour
3 t. cinnamon
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips

1. mix oil, sugar, sugars, zucchini and vanilla in large mixer.

2. stir in dry ingredients

3. mix in chocolate chips

4. bake at 325 for 12 minutes.

5. drizzle with browned butter frosting- a.maz.ing


For what we call "snicker doodle" zucchini cookies- skip the chocolate chips and sprinkle the cookies with cinnamon sugar. We leave these ones unfrosted.


Browned Butter Frosting
1/2 c. butter
2 -3 c powdered sugar
milk, to thin
1 t. vanilla

1. melt butter in small sauce pan until completely melted and begins to brown.

2. stir in powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency

3. add vanilla and spread on warm cookies
