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.
  • Use vanilla extract instead of rum extract
