ZUCCHINI OATMEAL COOKIES – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you have an abundance of zucchini every summer, add these delicious oatmeal cookies to your recipe list. They are so easy and so good!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

These cookies are a fantastic way to use up all that garden zucchini. Even if you’re not a fan of zucchini, you’ll love these. All the added spices make these cookies so good, and they stay moist and delicious. These cookies are just as good the next day, making them perfect for any gathering. These cookies are soft and chewy, which we love.

SWAPS

You can substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. You can switch out the spices if you prefer, too. Not a fan of walnuts, use pecans or leave the nuts out altogether. I think you could also add chocolate chips too.
