Just in time for St Patrick's day, I'm back with a great, green cookie recipe. These moist and delicious oatmeal raisin cookies have a green tinge, thanks to some fresh grated zucchini! Without further ado, I bring you...
Martian Cookies
1/2 cup room temperature butter
3/4 cup sugar (I use organic, evaporated cane juice sugar)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour (I use whole wheat pastry flour)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup quick oats
1 cup grated zucchini (leave the skin and squeeze the moisture out)
1/2 - 1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until soft; then add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing well
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture gradually, beating on low speed until well-mixed. Stir in oats, zucchini, and raisins.
Drop by rounded teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
Makes 2 dozen delightful treats
Happy, green eating!
