Grandma’s Zucchini Cookies

"My Grandma’s Zucchini Cookies are one of my favorite and most prized recipes ever. They have the best texture and just a hint of cinnamon and chocolate with raisins to really amp up the flavor. I love the tradition of making homemade family recipes. My mom’s chocolate coconut macaroons and my aunt’s recipe for potato chip cookies. I love this recipe for zucchini cookies because it’s a quick and easy way to use leftover garden zucchini. The cookies are soft, and it’s a great recipe to try instead of regular zucchini bread. The grated zucchini adds incredible moisture to the cookies, resulting in a soft and chewy texture that stays delicious for days. It also contributes a subtle tenderness that’s hard to achieve otherwise. While the zucchini flavor itself is mild, it adds a lovely, almost earthy undertone that complements the sweetness of the chocolate and the nuttiness of the pecans. It’s a little something extra that makes these cookies stand out. Let’s be honest, these are still cookies! But adding zucchini does sneak in a bit of extra vitamins and fiber compared to a standard chocolate chip cookie. The classic pairing of chocolate chips and pecans is always a winner. The zucchini adds a unique twist without overpowering these beloved flavors. As we’ll explore in the variations section, this recipe is quite adaptable to different tastes and dietary needs. "
