By Cindy_Wicker

Ingredients

• LEMON GLAZE:
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, zucchini and lemon peel. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in raisins and walnuts.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
For glaze, combine sugar and enough lemon juice to achieve a thin spreading consistency. Spread or drizzle over cooled cookies. Yield: 3-1/2 dozen.
