Description

This spicy zucchini oatmeal cookie recipe is flavored with warm cinnamon and spicy cloves and packed with heart-healthy oats and raisins for a sweet treat.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup shredded zucchini
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup raisins

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
2 Whisk flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves together in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
3 Wrap zucchini in a clean towel; wring out to remove any excess moisture. Set aside.
4 Beat brown sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy; beat in egg and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture and oats until just incorporated. Stir in zucchini and raisins until evenly combined. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until bottom edges turn golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.
