I made it!  Well, not really.  I baked early yesterday morning, I just didn’t post.  Ha, gotchya!

Zucchini cookies

1/2 c. butter
1 tsp oil
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar
3 TBS sour cream
1 egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 c. grated zucchini
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 – 2 1/2 c. unbleached flour
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
2 c. rolled oats
1/2 – 1 c. nuts, raisins and/or chocolate chips (optional)

Mixing bowl 1:
– Sift together flours, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder, set aside

Mixing bowl 2:
– Cream together butter, oil and sugars
– Beat in the sour cream
– Beat in egg
– Add vanilla and zucchini
– Fold in mixing bowl 1
– Add oats (and nuts/raisins/chocolate chips if you are using)

The possibilities are endless with this cookie – I made one plain batch, one batch with chocolate chips and one batch with raisins.  I think next I’ll substitute almond extract for the vanilla, and add dried cherries and slivered almonds, mmm!

Line baking sheet with parchment paper and Bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes  – recipe yields roughly 3 doz. cookies when using a cookie scoop.

Tomorrow: German-inspired macarons – you know, for the World Cup?
