Lemon Zucchini Cookies

My Grandma Smith was the best baker I've ever met. She was fabulous, fun, and all sorts of wonderful. I got this recipe out of her collection, and thought I'd be nice enough to share it with you. I know; I'm nice that way.

Lemon Zucchini Cookies
3/4 cup butter or margarine

3/4 cup sugar
1 egg

1 teaspoon or more grated lemon peel

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded unpeeled zucchini

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Lemon Frosting:

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup powdered sugar

In large bowl or mixer cream butter and sugar until light.

Beat in egg and peel until fluffy at low speed or with rubber scraper. 

 Sift or stir flour, baking powder, and salt together.

 

 Gradually add to creamed mixture and blend. Stir in zucchini and nuts.

 

Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

Make frosting by beating together the lemon juice and powdered sugar.

Cool and enjoy!
