Mel's Zucchini Cookies

2006 Germany · Melinda’s cookbook — Melinda Winslow

This was originally a zucchini bread recipe handed down from my Grandmother and my Mother from the 70's as best I remember. While in Germany in 2006 I decided I would play with the well loved zucchini recipe and try for some cookies. Well, it worked and now that classic combination of cinnamon and nuts makes a great little "bread like" cookie.
