Whole Lotta Lovin' Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

To call these Oatmeal Raisin cookies isn't really fair...there are so many more delicious ingredients that shine in here like dried cherries, Craisins, and of course, zucchini.  That's right-zucchini!


  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 6 oz. room-temperature butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 packed cup shredded zucchini (about 1/2 a medium zucchini)
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup Craisins


  1. In bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars at high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes
  3. Beat in the egg at medium speed, then flour mixture
  4. Stir in oats, zucchini, raisins, cherries, and Craisins (do it with the mixer if yours can handle it)
  5. Let everything chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes
  6. Bake slightly lesss than 1/4 cupfuls on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets at 350°, switching pans halfway through, until golden, 15 to 17 minutes

*For better results, bake only 9 cookies to a sheet
