The following is a delicious Cookie Recipe and guest post by Pamela… enjoy!!

Whole Wheat Zucchini Cookies

Hi! My name is Pamela and I am the lovely lady behind Pamela’s Heavenly Treats, I must first say that without God none of this would be possible.

I am a wife, mother of 6, homeschool teacher and I have a small Healthy Cupcake & Cookie business. Everything that I make is made with 100% Whole Wheat Flour and my secret ingredients.  I have an Etsy shop where I sell my healthy mixes!  Come on over and visit!

Today I am sharing a recipe for: Whole Wheat Zucchini Cookies I picked another crate of zucchini this week, and one of the fridge cool bins is filled, so I began thinking what am I going to make with this abundance of zucchini.  Then it hit me, cookies, muffins, cupcakes oh my… I made all 3 and they came out GREAT!  

This recipe is like a back to school, fall cookie, but it’s good anytime! I didn’t let the kids know that there was zucchini in the cookies, they each got 3 cookies for their snack, and they were like mama these are so good, they taste like your oatmeal cookies, but much better (ok thanks little people).

So after they were all done, I told them the secret ingredient and you should have seen their faces, they were like oh that’s what the green stuff was.  HA – I got them, they ate zucchini without a hassle!  This is an easy recipe, just follow and you will have your own heavenly healthy treat!

    I made these cookies and they are delicious! I think next time, I will add more cinnamon, as well as some cloves, nutmeg and ginger perhaps to make them a spice cookie. Maybe a few raisins, too.

    I may try this I have lots of frozen zucchini in the freezer! Most all recipes having zucchini call for 2 cups shredded & drained so I do this & freeze in bags for winter breads, chocolate zucchini cake, Pioneer Woman’s cake etc.

    Mine dont look like anything in the picture? I followed the directions, they don’t look soft at all? Wondering if I did something wrong to make them look like alien cookies with pieces of shredded zucchini sticking out?

    The pictures show finely diced zucchini, but the recipe says to shred the zucchini; which is it?

      I shredded some zucchini and then I diced some up just so the cookies would have pieces in them. So you can do both!
