Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies
Why I Love This Recipe
The zucchini are in season here and this is a great way to use some of them! Good way to sneak extra whole grains into the family too! I use white whole wheat flour in my recipes, I am sure that you could substitute half whole wheat flour for the white flour called for in this recipe. I have only made these once with chocolate chips, we prefer roughly chopped walnuts.
