i added egg replacer to this because i never have any luck with cookies without it (they tend to spread EVERYWHERE). i knew that when i did that, i might end up altering the recipe into more of a muffin one... which is what happened.
the first batch of "cookies" came out more like small cakes, so i put the rest of it in muffin tins and it worked out beautifully! i now have "chocolate mint zucchini (uh-oh i made) muffins"! they are quite yummy, although maybe they need a tad more sweetness.
i used whole wheat pastry flour. because of the egg replacer (4 1/2 teaspoons ener g egg replacer with 6 tablespoons of very warm water, beaten for three minutes... equivalent of 3 eggs) i needed extra flour at the end of the recipe. i think that's why it needs a little more sweetness.
i used melted butter for the oil.
i beat the egg replacer, then (in a separate bowl) i mixed together the sugar, mint, and about half a teaspoon of vanilla. then i added the zucchini to the sugar mixture. once that was blended, i added the egg replacer and beat it with my electric mixer. after that, i followed the recipe directions and added the flour mixture, spooned it out, and baked it.
for the muffins, i added about one or two minutes extra for the baking time.
these were really good. i will try it sometime with the actual directions and see if i get cookies instead. haha.
thanks for the recipe!
