Zucchini Oat Cookies with Brown Butter Frosting
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini shredded
Frosting:
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8-10 tablespoons milk
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.
