"These cookies are such a light and tasty treat that I will add this recipe to my box! The only change I made was to the glaze - I added 1 tsp of water and 1/2 tsp of almond extract to make it a glaze I could just drizzle over the top of the cookies. I used the lemon extract instead of the peel in the cookies. This is a great way to use Zucchini!!!"
