These great-tasting cookies also have raisins and nuts! Pecans are really nice, but you can use whatever nut you like in these.
INGREDIENTS (for 5 servings):
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, vanilla, and honey. Beat in the egg until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir into the honey mixture. Stir in the rolled oats, zucchini, pecans and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly using a fork.
