Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

In medium bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon peel. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until the dry ingredients are mixed in. Stir in the zucchini and nuts.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2" apart onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cookies are golden around the edges. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Garnishing Tip:

It's easy to top these with a homemade glaze. Simply combine 1/2 c confectioners' sugar with 2 t fresh lemon juice, then drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
