“Great flavor and a nice, soft cookie. One word of warning: use a strong mixer or do it by hand. An underpowered mixer is going to have a tough time because the dough is thick! Now, excuse me while I go finish off a couple that I hid in the cupboard."

-hanny1217
"Man, oh, man! Exceptionally moist. I'll never use another recipe for this cake!"
-Karen19
"This recipe is excellent! We altered it by using two 14-ounce cans of diced tomatoes with garlic and onions. We found by using two cans instead of one it turned out more moist. We definitely recommend this recipe. It has become one of our favorites!"
-bears-n-beagles
"Love this. If you salt your zucchini slices and let them rest for 20 to 30 minutes, some of the moisture will drain off and make for a crispier result after baking. This will keep them from becoming mushy."
-IFortuna
"As soon as the bread came out of the oven one loaf somehow disappeared — my kids couldn’t wait for the loaf to cool before eating. Great way to get children to eat their vegetables.”
-mmmgallo
"I added five cloves of garlic and three crushed red peppers. Made for a very wonderful side dish with plenty of flavor. We will be making this many times."

-Goddess in Training
