Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
Stir in the grated zucchini and raisins.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
You can add chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like nutmeg for a unique twist.
For healthier alternatives, consider using whole wheat flour or reducing the sugar.
