Zucchini Raisin Cookies
This favorite old recipe means a lot to me, since it was given to me by a good friend. That friend, in turn, received it from her great-grandmother. I'm always looking for ways to use zucchini (I even add it to my spaghetti sauce), so this was a welcome addition to my recipe file.

Very Good even though I used 1 cup white flour and 1 cup wheat flour.
I lined my sheets with parchment then moved the cookies to nonstick racks. I used a medium cookie scoop and got 2 dozen large cookies. We all enjoyed these, and I'll definitely make them again.
These cookies are so good! I only made a few minor changes: left out the nuts due to nut allergy, used half the amount of nutmeg and a little less cloves. I worried that there would be too much "space" without a whole cup of nuts but the cookies are just fine without them. You could add a few more raisins if you wanted to. I'm eating one as I type this. I usually like milk with cookies but tonight I'm having it with cold fresh cider. Yum! I'll be making these again!
These cookies are GREAT! I used 2 2/3 cups of King Arthur Whole Wheat flour, 1 cup of plumped raisins and about 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Oh, I also used Egg Beaters instead of the egg. They are nice and soft and cakey. Very good!
After reading the reviews, and the story, I decided to try these. I have a bunch of zucchini so wanted to try some new things.I made just as stated Used up all my raisins so had to use craisins in another zucchini recipe..great substitution!!), got 18 lovely cookies, and they were delicious!! I love older tried and true recipes...I think perhaps some of the reviewers used very wet zucchini..i grate it on my box grater, then patted it dry. Had no sticky problems. Be aware that adding extra flour may change the way the cookies come out, and overmixing may make them tougher.Enjoyed this recipe! thank you!
Yummy! I made them exactly as directed. Yes, they were sticky...I sprayed some Pam on my hands to help with that! It does not make a ton, so I would double it if you're looking to make a nice big batch to share.~ Theresa
These where not my favorite cookie. They did not make as much as said not even close and I used a small scoper to get them all the same size and they look to me the same size as the picture. The flavor was not all that great not bad but nothing I would want to share.

I am also a subscriber to Healthy Cooking and i enjoy the receipes that are re-makes and this as well as other zucchnini cookies would be appriciated. I made these for my husband and son but could only enjoy one serving for myself and they were GREAT ;-) and would love to enjoy more. Thank you, Anne Wampler
These are delicious! I, too, added an extra cup of flour and had no problem with sticking. Some chopped walnuts would be a nice addition. You can't even tell these have zucchini in them, and it gives them a really nice texture.
