Ingredients
Cookie Batter
- 180 Grams All Purpose Flour 1 ½ Cups
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
- ¼ Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 ¼ Cups Zucchini, Finely Grated
- 75 Grams Granulated Sugar 6 Tablespoons

- 2-3 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are a light golden brown and the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven a place the pan on a rack to cook for 10 minutes. Place the tops/cookies directly on the rack to cool completely.
