Zucchini cookies sound weirdly irresistible, don’t they? I mean, let’s be real. You buy a couple of zucchini for dinner and the next thing you know, they’re still sitting in your fridge awkwardly staring at you. If you’re tired of the same old zucchini bread (though, this amazing moist zucchini bread recipe is worth bookmarking), let’s talk cookies. Soft, chewy, lightly sweet, and just sneaky enough for veggie haters. Ready to see how zucchini can turn basic cookies into something cozy and delicious? Success Tips for Using Zucchini in Cookies Here’s the honest truth: zucchini cookies can go badly if you treat zucchini like just any other mix-in. Don’t skip removing the extra water. I learned that the hard way—a soggy mess isn’t what you want. Grab a clean kitchen towel or even a few strong paper towels, and press that grated zucchini until it’s barely damp. This helps the cookies bake up soft, not mushy. Another thing, use the smaller holes on your grater so you don’t get big lumpy bites. I’m also a fan of sneaking in a little extra cinnamon. Makes your kitchen smell five-star level. And here’s my wildcard move: toss the zucchini with a bit of flour before adding it to the dough. Magic. “I never dreamed veggies could actually taste good in cookies. These are now my go-to for family BBQs—and nobody complains about eating their greens.” – Janet, real human and accidental zucchini fan Ingredient Notes and Substitutions For Zucchini Cookies Let’s keep this practical. You’ll need basic staples: flour, brown sugar, and a bit of cinnamon. Trust me, brown sugar is key for that chewiness—don’t swap it out unless you absolutely have to. If you’re out of eggs (yep, been there), a good flax egg works fine. Butter works best, but I’ve tested coconut oil and it’s not half bad. Chocolate chips? Always a yes. Chopped walnuts or pecans—if you like a crunch, toss them in. And don’t stress if you don’t have vanilla, just leave it out or add a dash of almond extract for a twist. One time I even tried golden raisins and, not to brag, but the cookies vanished so fast I barely got a taste. Preparation Steps for Soft Zucchini Cookies Okay, so you’re ready to bake. Start by grating your zucchini and squeezing out as much juice as possible. Beat your butter and sugar together until it looks fluffy. Add your egg (or egg substitute) and vanilla, mixing well. Now, stir in the zucchini. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add dry ingredients to wet—don’t overmix. Just till it comes together. Fold in your chocolate chips and nuts if you’re feeling fancy. I like dropping spoonfuls of dough onto the baking tray. You don’t need perfect balls. A little rustic never hurt anyone. Pop them in a moderate oven—think 350°F—for about 10-12 minutes. Chilling and Storing Zucchini Cookies Now, you could bake these straight after mixing, but I’ll tell you something game-changing. Chilling the dough for an hour (or, let’s face it, overnight if life gets busy) keeps the cookies from spreading into sad puddles. The flavor deepens, too. So worth the wait. As for leftovers—honestly, there rarely are. But if you’re lucky, keep zucchini cookies in a container with a tight lid. Room temp for a few days, or pop them in the freezer if you want to hang onto summer for a bit longer. Oh, and these actually taste even better the next day, no joke. If you are fan of cookies try this Summer Cookies: Easy …
Bread and butter pickles. Oh man, if you’re anything like me, you’ve eyed those pretty jars at the store and thought, “How hard could that be?” You slice into a dinner sandwich and suddenly think—these would be such a game-changer… if I could just make them myself, you know? That’s pretty much how I stumbled into this whole pickling adventure. If you want more old-school summer vibes in your kitchen (think of it like snacking on amazing moist zucchini bread straight from grandma’s counter), you’ve come to the right corner of the internet. How To Make Bread and Butter Pickles Okay, let’s get right to the heart of it. First things first—you’ll need fresh cucumbers. Not those waxy giants, either. Get the small, snappy ones, preferably from your own garden. I learned that the hard way after an early cucumber-pocalypse. Grab some onions and a few standard spices—think mustard seeds, celery seed, turmeric. White vinegar works fine. Thin-slice everything (I’m talking paper-thin if you can swing it) so the flavors dance together. Dump the cucumbers and onions in a big bowl, toss with salt, and let them sweat for about an hour. This part—honestly—makes them extra crisp. After the sweat session, rinse and drain them really well. Heat up the vinegar, sugar, and your spices till it smells like a county fair. Stir that all together with the cucumbers and onions. And then, just simmer. Don’t walk away though—seriously, I burnt mine the first time and the house reeked for days. Spoon them into clean jars while they’re hot. They’ll look bright and cheerful, like a jar of summer. The tricky part? Waiting. They’re best after a week in the fridge (I know, I know—it’s hard). Trust me though, it’s worth it. Tips for Canning Bread & Butter Pickles Wanna keep those bread and butter pickles longer than summer? Canning is your pal. Here comes truth time: don’t let the boiling water scare you. My neighbor once convinced me “it’s just like making pasta.” Sort of true, but a little noisier. Use fresh jars and lids, always. Your pickles will keep months and months this way—if you don’t eat them all. Make sure to sterilize your jars (I pop mine in a hot oven for a bit; old school, sure, but works). Always use a clean funnel so you’re not dropping bits everywhere. Remember to pack your pickles in tight, but not too snug. The hot brine needs some wiggle room to do its thing. Once your jars are filled, wipe the rims so the lids seal good and proper. Let me say this loud: don’t skip soaking your cucumbers in salt. It’s the golden rule for crispness. Soft pickles? That’s a sad sandwich right there. If you’re worried about the process, relax! The magic is in the details, not perfection. I’d never canned anything before last summer, but following these steps made it honestly fun—and my kids still beg for “Mom’s fancy pickles” on burgers. Steps for Canning Pickles It’s time to break it down plain and simple. Here we go. Let them cool overnight before you move them around. You’ll know they’re sealed if the lid is sucked down in the center. If not, eat those first (or, honestly, just eat them now). More Summery Recipes to Can Ready to ride the canning train straight through August? Me too—it’s kinda addictive. Here’s some easy stuff that works great alongside your bread and butter pickles (and keeps the picnic table feeling festive). Heck, try dessert too. If you like summer treats as much as I do, go for these fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches. Trust me, happiness in every bite. Good planning is key to a successful vegetable garden No cucumbers, no pickles, right? Garden planning’s worth a quick chat—mostly because it’ll save you a world of frustration mid-July. Sketch the garden before you plant, even if it looks like a toddler doodle. Start cucumbers early, in a bright spot with rich dirt. We had loads of zucchini and cucumbers last summer just by watering regularly and mulching underneath to lock in that good moisture. Toss in a couple onions alongside the cucumbers so you don’t have to dash to the store at the last minute. Good fences (or, well, netting) will fend off the rabbits. Believe me—they turn into gourmet critter salad bars if you’re not careful. Take it from me: Label everything. I forgot once and ended up with a mystery squash that I still don’t have a name for. FAQs Do bread and butter pickles need to be refrigerated after opening? Yep! Pop them in the fridge once you crack the jar—keeps the flavor sharp. How long will canned bread and butter pickles last? Unopened, your bread and butter pickles can last a year (sometimes more), but once opened, aim for two months max. Can I use regular cucumbers instead of pickling cucumbers? I mean… you can, but smaller pickling cucumbers stay crunchier. Regular ones work if you’re not going for five-star crunch. …

My biggest tip? Don’t skimp on chilling the dough and get generous with that filling. The balance is ridiculous (in a good way). You’ll feel like you’re biting into a little piece of Argentina… which, I mean, yes please. Understanding Alfajores and Their Origin Alfajores have deep roots in Argentina. I didn’t know this until I awkwardly brought a store-bought version to my Argentine friend’s party. She politely took it, then (with a smirk) handed me homemade Classic Argentine Alfajores. Let’s just say I never looked back. These cookies started in Spain, actually, but Argentinians made them iconic by adding dulce de leche. Eating alfajores is a whole vibe.

(I still make a mess. No shame.) For the filling, use a small spoon or piping bag if you want to look pro. But your fingers work fine. Sandwich the cookies without pushing too hard or you’ll squish the goodness out. Another thing? Don’t overbake. They don’t really “brown” much, so pull ‘em as soon as the edges are even barely golden. Honestly, Classic Argentine Alfajores might become your new baking obsession.

What makes flan different from other desserts? It wobbles, you know? It’s soft, not stiff. Sliced right, it’ll shimmy onto your plate. The thing most folks remember is the caramel topping. Sounds fancy, but really it’s just sugar cooked until it turns gold and pourable. Flan’s texture is… well, heck, I can’t describe it except to say, “just try it.” My uncle calls it “the gold standard of desserts” and yeah, that tracks. What is Dulce de Leche? Oof, dulce de leche. If you’ve never met this stuff—brace yourself. It’s dreamy sweet and sticky, sort of like caramel but made by slow-cooking sweetened milk.

Pour in your sweetened condensed milk, a can of evaporated milk, and then a fat scoop of that dulce de leche (no reason to skimp). Some folks add a splash of vanilla—it’s optional, but oh so good. Mix it all until smooth. Pour over the caramel in your pan. Set your baking dish inside that roasting pan, pour boiling water around it till about halfway up the sides. Bake low and slow—think gentle, not hurried—until it barely jiggles. Cool completely, chill it in the fridge, and when you finally flip it out, that caramel pools all over. It never gets old. Take a picture before your family attacks it, you’ve been warned. Caramel Flan Recipe Variations Trust me, once you make Dulce De Leche Flan, you’ll want to riff on it. Everybody does.

Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of your bread. Layer on those berries. Top with another slice—give it a good squish so it doesn’t slip. Beat your eggs (a little cinnamon in there if you feel wild). Dip the sandwich to coat both sides but don’t leave it soaking. Hot pan (but not burning) and melt the butter in. Lay your sandwiches in gently. Press with your spatula. Flip when golden—not pale, not burnt. If stuff oozes out, just scoop it back, no big deal. Once they’re crispy, let them sit for a minute.
