Pumpkin Cookies Like Unto Pillsbury's

I am a major slacker! I feel awful that I have contributed to this blog yet. I am so sorry!! I'm going to actually start posting here. Promise!

In case you are curious what has been going on in my kitchen, you can check out my blog: Sugar and Spice and All Things Iced. I wanted to place to post the creations of my latest creative outlet - decorating sugar cookies, since it was taking over my family blog. If you decide to stop by, I would love for you to leave me a note. :)

Do you remember how I had a major slight obsession with Pillsbury's Holiday Shape Cookies in college? Well, I figured out how to make some on my own. All it takes is a little sugar cookie dough and some food coloring (and cookie cutters for the first method). You can read all the details on my blog. Just click the links below:

Next time, I'll post an actual recipe for something super yummy.

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies

Hi Girls!

I don't know about you, but we have Zucchinis coming out of our ears up here! I love grating it up and throwing it in spaghetti sauce and other recipes. (I feel so sneaky making my little brother eat vegetables, especially ones that he HATES)

I remember my aunt making these as a little girl and LOVING them. She used to frost them... I need to get ahold of her to get the frosting recipe. But this one is still pretty delicious. Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
2 C. Brown Sugar
2 C. Grated Zucchini
1 C. Vegetable Oil
2 tsp. Vanilla
4 C. Flour
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Ginger
2 C. Chocolate Chips

Mix together sugar, oil, zucchini and vanilla. In separate bowl combine dry ingredients and mix with wet until combined. Spoon on to cookie sheet and bake for 10 min at 350*.
