Traditional Club Sandwich

Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a big bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Then, add the peanut butter, margarine, and egg, stirring everything until it’s well combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini until it’s evenly mixed throughout the dough.

Step 2

Scoop out spoonfuls of the dough and drop them onto cookie sheets—you don’t need to grease them. Pop the trays into the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a nice light brown. Let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!
