Perfect timing - Husband was shredding all the Zucchini today for the freezer until I could get to it, but will have to do this recipe first. Thanks

Sure sounds yummy. And, we can say they are "healthy" with the whole wheat flour, honey, zucchini......

My wonderful husband shredded a huge bowl full of zucchini yesterday. My mistake I didn't tell him to take out the seeds and only shred flesh. Think these cookies will be OK with seeds?

I shredded a smaller zucchini that didn't have really large seeds but yes, I did shread the entire thing and use it. If you had really large seeds, you may just want to take them out which shouldn't be that hard since it only calls for a cup. Also, when you first mix up the batter, it seems really stiff (I used my stand mixer to mix it all) but it is amazing just how moist the cookies are when they cool! I have also frozen some of what I made so I hope they freeze well! Good luck!

Thanks for the information - hate to discourage husband from helping. He is such a sweetheart and helps anyway he can since I work full time and he works only 3 months out of the year and the rest of the time on the ranch. I want to get home and make these. I hope they freeze well also. Would love to make ahead and have for Christmas baskets to family and friends.
