I was looking for another fun way to use up some of the zucchini that is so abundant and this is THE recipe. I made these to take to a church function and they were raved upon by everyone who tried them. I also sent them to work with my husband, and all 4 dozen were gone long before noon. I have made double batches and come out with nearly 4 dozen cookies using my cookie scoop. For the frosting, I used an 8oz package of cream cheese and a stick of butter adding powdered sugar until it was the right consistency.

My new favorite cookie!! These are the most cakelike, moist cookies I have ever tasted. I doubled the cookies and only single batch of frosting. This worked out as double frosting would have been too much. I did as others suggested and used 1/2 white sugar and 1/2 brown sugar. I started by refrigerating only 30-45 mins, but the cookies were flat on the first sheet. Put it back in the frig between batches, and by the third one they fluffed up perfect. I am going to try substituting bananas or carrots next time.

These were fantastic! I did not wait the 2 hours to refrigerate because I didn't have time and they still turned out perfect. So I wouldn't waste the time. Perfect amount of spice and zucchini. I also added some cinnamon to the frosting which was even tastier. I'll keep this recipe.

I loved these cookies. I have an abundance of zucchini and have been looking for something else to do with it. As suggested by other, I used 1/2C white sugar and 1/2C brown sugar. I didn't add raising, since I had none. I will add them for the next batch. I only chilled the dough for about 1/2 hour, and everything still turned out great! The cream cheese frosting is out of this world. Next time, since my husband is not a big frosting fan, I will 1/2 the recipe and only frost 1/2 the batch. Thanks Michelle!

I substituted 1 cup mashed banana, omitted the cloves and raisins, and I substituted 1/2 of the white sugar for brown sugar. they turned out great. Versatile recipe. I did use butter, and I think after refrigerating them for 2 hours, they were too hard and didn't flatter enough. When I make them again, I won't chill them as long, if I use butter.

Great recipe! Made these and sent them to work with my husband. The crew ate them up in 10 minutes and we had lots of requests for the recipe. I did omit the cloves simply because I think it's too overpowering for this cookie.
