I have no time to do nothing Works is taking all my time. Good news that it will not last forever. So I have no time to bake cookies or pies, but it doesn’t stop me from wanting some sweets. And these cookies are perfect – you can form a log and then put in a freezer for later bake, when you will have no spare time.

250 g wheat flour

1 tsp. baking powder

125 g butter

125 g sugar (next time I will use 100g)

60 g walnuts, finely chopped

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla essence

Sift the flour and baking powders. Put butter and crumble with the fingers till small crumbs. Mix in sugar and walnuts. Pour in the egg and vanilla essence. Mix the dough. Form about 5cm diameter log and fold in the foil or baking paper. Roll a little bit that sides were even. Put in a fridge for about 8 ours. Line baking tray with the baking paper. Cut dough log in thin slices and put them on a baking tray. Bake in 190°C preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or till become golden brown.

A little bit not ordinary cookies. You can’t taste zucchini, just it’s green skin says that cookies has a secret in side. Next time I will use quick cooking oats, because now I used old fashioned and eating cookies I could feel hard oats.

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. cinnamon

4 tbsps. (55g) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar (didn’t used)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 cup shredded zucchini

2 cups old fashioned oats (next time I will use quick cooking oats)

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup dried cranberries

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars, mix until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract. Next, add the shredded zucchini. Mix until combined. Slowly add flour mixture until just combined. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Drop cookie dough by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Remove cookies from pans, cool completely on wire racks.

Sweet cookies with the mild taste of peanuts. And a little bit healthy because with oats In original recipe used sugar for me was too much, so I used only white sugar and still for me cookies were too sweet. But my children ate have of cookies at once and hubby said that sweetness of cookies it just right.

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar (didn’t used)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup flour

1 cup oatmeal

Cream together butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add baking soda, salt, baking powder, and flour. Stir. Fold in oatmeal. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet. Flatten balls with a fork. Bake at 180°C for 8-9 minutes or until edges lightly brown. Let cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then move cookies to a cooling rack.

P.S. my butter was cold, so I melted it. Also because I used less sugar, the dough was stronger, so I formed cookies with wet hands – the form was nicer. And also because the dough was harder, cookies didn’t spread widely and they were not very thin.

P.P.S. and this is my impatient sonny and my girl with not the first cookie in her hands
