The poppy seeds add a little bit of flavor and a wonderful texture to the cookies.

LEMON ZUCCHINI COOKIES

Lemon Zucchini Cookies made with lots of lemon flavor and shredded zucchini. Topped with a delicious lemon glaze, these zucchini cookies are absolutely incredible!

Lemon Zucchini Cookies are so moist because of the grated zucchini in them. You can peel the zucchini and no one will even ever know that it’s in there! The cookies are even delicious without the glaze, but the glaze adds a lot of lemon flavor.

With a simple cookie recipe like this, you know you’ll have an easy time in the kitchen. Just another reason to love these frosted meltaway cookies. With a tender and soft cookie and a tangy-sweet icing, every bite is as good as the last. We love meltaway cookies and while our Vanilla Meltaways might be delicious, I think these lemon ones are just as good (if not better). But I’m also a very big fan of lemon and love the sweet and sour contrast in flavors.
