For a nuttier flavor, try using natural peanut butter. Be sure to stir it well before measuring. Don't overmix the dough once you add the zucchini, as this can result in tougher cookies. These cookies are best enjoyed within 3 days of baking, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. To add a touch of sweetness, consider adding 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the dough.
