Notes
Tips and Substitutions
Always let the shredded zucchini sit in a colander with a sprinkle of salt to help release the water for at least 10 minutes.
Press the zucchini after the rest time to squeeze excess water out.
Use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to get perfect portion sized cookies.
Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
Substitute 1 teaspoon orange zest in place of the dried orange peel.
