Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. In a medium-large bowl combine zucchini, greek yogurt, egg, sugars, and vanilla and mix well.
- In another bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until everything is incorporated.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool at least 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
- To make the frosting, melt butter in a medium sauce pan. When butter is melted, continue to whisk over medium heat until butter turns from yellow to a golden color. Remove from heat. In a medium bowl cream together butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable. Spread on cooled cookies.
Notes
- Store in airtight container at room temperature up to three days.
- Store extra frosting in airtight container in fridge up to one week.
