Lemon Zucchini Cookie
After the successful zucchini bread trials I decided to venture into cookie
land and try this recipe converted to low carb.
Lemon Zucchini Cookies
Preheat oven to 375°
Coat cookie sheet with non-stick spray or line with parchment
2 c. flour (1 c. carbalose & 1 c. almond flour)
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 c. grated zucchini
1 c. chopped walnuts
¾ c. oil or soft butter (I used coconut oil)
¾ c. sugar (use ½ c splenda and ¼ c. erythritol)
1 egg
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
Mix together butter/oil and sweetener
Add eggs, lemon juice & peel
Add dry mixture and stir a bit
Add zucchini & nuts - mix well and spoon onto baking sheets
Bake 12 minutes or until edges are browned.
Makes about 30 light and delicate cookies
Using substitutes above net carbs are 2.5 per cookie.
Original recipe also calls for a confectioner sugar glaze . not needed.
These are not too sweet but still sweet enough to taste like a cookie.
