Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two baking sheets a light greasing to ensure your treats don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, fragrant ground cinnamon, baking soda, and a hint of ground cloves until well blended.

3. Step 3

   Now, take your shredded zucchini and wrap it in a clean towel, giving it a gentle squeeze to remove any excess moisture—this step is key to keeping your cookies from getting soggy.

4. Step 4

   In a large bowl, grab your electric mixer and beat together the rich brown sugar and softened butter until the mixture is creamy and inviting.

5. Step 5

   Next, add in an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.

6. Step 6

   Gradually fold in the flour mixture along with quick-cooking oats, stirring just until incorporated.

   Finally, gently fold in the zucchini and plump raisins, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. Step 8

   Using a rounded teaspoon, drop dollops of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart for even baking.

9. Step 9

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and let them bake for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.
