Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, oats, and salt.
  • In a large bowl cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and zucchini and mix well. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
  • Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack or sheet of parchment or wax paper to finish cooling completely.
  • When cookies are cooled prepare frosting. Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. After melted, continue to stir over medium heat until butter turns amber-brown. Add butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to a large bowl and mix until smooth. Spread over cooled cookies. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
