Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lemon Zucchini Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a cookie sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and freshly grated lemon zest and continue mixing for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the grated zucchini with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned around the edges and soft in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over each cookie once cooled.

Notes
Squeeze excess moisture out of zucchini before adding to dough. Use fresh lemon zest for maximum flavor impact.
