I never get bored of zucchini. I make some of my favorite recipes all year, including my kid’s favorite zucchini bread. My zucchini muffins are a to-go-to during the school year, both the zucchini chocolate chip and pumpkin zucchini muffins.

Recipe Tips

  • How to store zucchini cookies: Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Can you freeze oatmeal cookies? If stored in a freezer bag, the cookies will keep for up to a month. They may be defrosted at room temperature after being frozen.
    I have never frozen the batter and baked the cookies, but baking them and then freezing them has worked for me.
  • Make sure to chill the dough for 2 hours.

    These cookies are a new favorite! The Zucchini Oatmeal Raisin Cookies were soft, chewy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. I love how they feel like a healthier treat without sacrificing any flavor.

    I have a lot of zucchini on my hands and I’ve never tried it in cookies, but I’m glad I did! These were nice and chewy and great flavor.

    I had left over zucchini from making muffins and looked to find a cookie recipe or something to use the left overs up. So glad I found this one. Great recipe. Thank you!
