Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda (5g)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (2g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (1g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
- 1 cup white sugar (200g)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup grated zucchini (240g)
- 1 cup dried cranberries (150g)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the sugar and oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and mix well, then incorporate the grated zucchini. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until fully combined. Fold in the dried cranberries. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When you’re ready to bake, set the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and allow it to preheat. Lightly coat two baking sheets with grease.
- Place teaspoon-sized portions of the chilled dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, switching the baking sheets between racks halfway through the baking time.
- Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Thoroughly drain and squeeze excess moisture from grated zucchini before adding to cookie dough to prevent a soggy texture.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top of cookies before baking for a festive touch and extra flavor.
- For a chewier texture, slightly underbake cookies and allow them to finish cooking on baking sheets out of the oven.
