Zucchini Cookies With Lemon Glaze
Description
Zucchini Cookies With Lemon Glaze blend the subtle moisture from grated zucchini and the texture of rolled oats into a soft dough enhanced by cinnamon and vanilla. Baking at 375°F until the edges turn golden results in a cookie that holds its shape with a tender crumb. Once cooled, the cookies are drizzled with a smooth lemon glaze made from powdered sugar, lemon juice, and melted butter, providing a zesty finish that complements the gentle sweetness. These cookies offer a balance between moist interior and lightly crisp edges.
The natural moisture from zucchini keeps these cookies from drying out, while the citrus icing adds freshness that brightens the flavor. These can be served as a snack or dessert and pair well with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
For the cookies
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup zucchini , grated (on the large side of a box grater)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats whole
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For the glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons butter , melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a large sheet pan with non-stick spray. To a large mixing bowl, add the first 6 ingredients and whisk to combine. Add the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, and use a spatula to stir everything until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Use a small cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), to scoop the cookie dough onto the sheet pan, spacing them out, leaving a few inches in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are slightly golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, make the glaze. Add all of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl, and whisk well to combine.
- Once the cookies have baked and cooled completely, use a fork to drizzle some of the glaze on the tops of each cookie.
