A very good cookie, even though I didn't use the glaze. Next time I will--just didn't have any powdered sugar. Texture is a little scone-like. I added the juice from the lemon to the cookie dough, and didn't measure the zucchini, so I may have added extra. Didn't use the nuts, but may add almonds next time. Delicious and easy, and I will make them again.

Now my favorite cookie...well next to chocolate chip. This is easy to fix and taste great. I used pecans since I had them on hand. Also used 1 tsp of lemon juice in the cookie mix.

Good recipe! My mixture was quite dry before I added the zuchhini (which I'd tried to squeeze some of the liquid out of) but got moister. The biscuits were light, rustic looking, almost scone-like.
