To make great zucchini cookies, start with well-drained zucchini. Too much moisture will make your cookies soggy. After grating, squeeze the zucchini in a clean cloth. This removes excess liquid and helps achieve the right texture. Choosing the right almond flour is crucial too. Look for finely ground almond flour. This type blends well, making your cookies soft and chewy. Avoid coarse almond flour, as it can create a gritty texture. Avoid over-mixing your dough. Mix just until combined. Over-mixing can lead to tough cookies. It’s best to keep things gentle. Cooking time matters. If you want a softer cookie, check them at 12 minutes. For a firmer cookie, leave them in for 15 minutes. Every oven is different, so keep an eye on them. Arrange your cookies on a colorful serving platter. A neat layout makes them look more inviting. You can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top. This adds a nice touch and hints at the flavor inside. Consider garnishing with fresh fruit. Slices of strawberries or a few blueberries add color. They also provide a fresh contrast to the sweet cookies. These little details make your treat stand out at any gathering.

Both give a unique taste. You can also add spices for a twist. Nutmeg and ginger bring warmth and zest to your cookies. Just a pinch can make a big difference. If you want to make these cookies gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour mix instead of almond flour. This swap keeps the texture smooth. For a vegan version, replace the honey with maple syrup. You can also use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for five minutes until it thickens. Mix-ins can make your cookies fun. You can use different types of chocolate, like white or milk chocolate. Each type adds its own flavor. Dried fruits like cranberries or raisins also work well. They bring a burst of sweetness. You can even mix in nuts for a crunchy texture. Each choice adds more variety and excitement to your cookies. If you want the full recipe, check it out.

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

          Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
