Over the weekend we had a potluck at our friend’s house, and as you might imagine the food was AWESOME. I especially liked these cookies by my BFF Christina. Her daughter has egg allergies, so these are an especially welcome treat for her.

Zucchini Cookies

I promise this is the last of the zucchini desserts for awhile.

Oatmeal Fruit Cookies

This was nearly a disaster, as I made them while I was trying to also make dinner and participate in the Tweet & Taste at the same time. Why was I doing this? Because I was assigned snack duty at work. Luckily disaster was averted, and I was able to put this in the “complete” column of my Simply in Season recipes.

Carrot Cookies

I sort of cheated on this recipe. I had some leftover apple carrot salad so I substituted that for the carrots. No worries, this is a very basic cookie recipe from Simply in Season that lent itself to adaptation.

In reviewing Fresh From the Farm: Great Local Foods From New York State I noticed a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. At first glance I thought “who needs another chocolate chip cookie recipe?” All these years I’ve just used the back of the Nestle’ package of chocolate chips. But I thought I’d give this recipe a try, as they are Tate’s signature item. (Tate’s is a Bake Shop in Long Island).
