zucchini what!?

Anything sweet with zucchini in it just doesn't appeal to me. I guess I've never understood exactly what zucchini could possibly contribute to bread or cookies or cake...? Now all I can say is um YUM! Since I had an extra zucchini laying around, I went in search of a recipe to use it in and I found this one. I happened to have all the other ingredients to go with it so I thought I'd get out of my comfort zone a little and try it! If you love the lemon flavor and you like a cookie that is not too sweet but has a perfect blend of flavors this is your cookie! I LOVED them!
