I have made these cookies several times and they are EXCELLENT with chocolate chips. I also substituted half the butter with applesauce once and it seemed to make no difference. Very moist, almost cakelike in texture. Zucchini-haters devoured these! - 22 Sep 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These cookies have a delicious spicy taste, and smell great while they're baking. Mine spread too much even after adding additional flour and refrigerating the dough, but next time I'll do a better job of squeezing the moisture out of the zucchini. I won't add the milk next time either. - 22 Jul 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
The orange zest truly makes this recipe special. The kids love it. - 31 Jul 2002 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
