Zucchini cookies



About a week ago I took a new cooking book from the library. The book is "The Sunset Edible Garden Cookbook: Fresh, Healthy Cooking from the Garden".  I have found several good recipes and started to make them. Here's one of them. I like experimenting with vegetables and fruits, especially in a spring and summer. Actually I have another zucchini cornmeal cookies recipe from Martha Stewart and, hope, to make them. For now I plan to make Greek spinach dip and Plum buckle from the same book.


Zucchini cookies.

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup each chopped walnuts, semisweet chocolate chips, and sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup raisins
