Zucchini, walnuts, raisins, chocolate chips, and coconut pack in an amazingly sweet flavor and contribute many beneficial nutrients. The recipe makes 60 cookies so feel free to either half the recipe or freeze extras in an airtight container for up to a month.
You can’t taste the zucchini in these cookies, but it adds vitamins, fiber, and a nice moist texture.
