This recipe comes from Martha Stewart…the photo is also hers.I don’t usually post someone’s recipes with out tweaking in to make it more to my liking first. But I believe this is perfect just the way it is. Although if you see it posted again by me, I’ll have found a way to change it up a bit. This is just another way of using zucchini “ which I love “ !!!!!

How To Make zucchini nut bread cookie sandwiches

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into a bowl. Beat 1 stick butter and the sugars until pale and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.

Step 2

2. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture. Mix in zucchini, oats, and walnuts. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Step 3

3. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop (about 2 tablespoons), drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are golden, about 17 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Step 4

4. Beat together remaining 1/2 stick butter, the cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread 1 heaping tablespoon filling onto the flat side of 1 cookie, and sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with remaining filling and cookies.
