Recipe Instructions

Step 1

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two cookie sheets.

Step 2

Drop teaspoonfuls of chilled dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until set, 8 to 10 minutes, switching racks halfway through.

Step 4

Remove from the oven. Allow cookies to cool slightly on the cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 5

Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in egg, then stir in shredded zucchini. Gradually stir in flour mixture until incorporated. Mix in raisins. Cover dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
