A very dry bland cookie. I added about 2/3 cup of milk to get the whole thing to work since it was going to be obviously a bust. Way too dry even with the milk.

I think the problem some others were having were the mixing directons, which I submitted a change, The original directions seemed oddly written and in a straange order. Made these yesterday and thought they were great! Can't even tell there's zucchimi in them! Nice soft cookie..a nice change of pace from the normal peanut butter cookie! Will definetly make these again!

These were OK. They're kind of bland.

These are good, despite my best efforts to goof them up! I discovered too late that I was out of peanuts, so I added some extra PB to provide the flavor. I also forgot to add the baking soda (duh!) so they stayed smallish. The flavor is great, though, and I am THRILLED to have a new fun recipe for squash. Thanks for posting!
