|

Thus unusual combination is really very good. Great with coffee of any kind or hot chocolate.
Chocolate Chip-Zucchini Cookies
¾ cup butter or margarine, softened
1 ½ cups sugar
1 large egg
½ tsp. almond extract
1 ½ cups grated zucchini, squeezed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts
Beat butter at medium speed until creamy; gradually beat in 1 ½ cups sugar. Beat in egg and almond extract. Press grated zucchini between paper towels and squeeze out extra liquid. Stir into butter mixture. Combine flour, powder and cinnamon; gradually add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Stir in nuts and chips. Drop by heaping teaspoon onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes (they wont be very brown on top), let sit on pan for 1 minute, remove to wire racks. When partially cooled, dust with powdered sugar through a mesh strainer. Yield 4 dozen. _________________ Audrey C |

Do you mean translating my "American" language to "English" or the measurements and temperature? If you mean the measurements why don't you just buy yourself a set of "cups" and "spoons"? Problem solved. Hope you enjoy the cookies. _________________ Audrey C |

American cups and spoon sizes are different to English, Australian, New Zealand etc etc etc. Each country has its own "cup size".
Biscuits sound interesting though. Might give them a try when I get gifted with zucchinis this year.  _________________ If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen. |

I guess I learn something new everyday. I lived in Germany for a few years and all the recipes were in grams so I never knew that about cups. I never learned to convert them either, just used ratios.
I discovered this recipe when my neighbor gave me some HUGE zucchini one summer and I couldn't let them go to waste. Between the cookies and zucchini bread it was all zucchini, all the time. _________________ Audrey C |
