Yes, I had a craving for Cucumber Cookies. I’d never heard of them. But man, did I want them…. (it’s a long story, but I assure you, I’m not pregnant!)
3/4 cup softened margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup cucumber, unpeeled, grated
1 cup shredded carrot
3/4 cup raisinsIn a large bowl, beat together sugar and margarine.
Add egg and beat until well blended
Stir in vanilla
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into batter, mix thoroughly
Stir in cucumber, carrots, and raisins.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet
Bake at 375F for 15-17mins.Ok…. I did that, and got burnt cookies!!! I’d recommend lowering the temperature quite a bit. 15 mins cooked the inside, but crispified the bottom… ick. Maybe 275-300F for 15mins.
I also forgot the vanilla and they tasted fine. Kinda like cucumber/carrot cake…. but in cookie form! :yum: :yum: :yum: :yum: :yum:
This looks interesting…I’ll pass it off as ‘health food’. It has cucumbers, carrots, raisins–like I call Zuccini Bread and Carrot Cake health food–no calories ever! *Saying this as I pat my amble belly and thighs*
huh!! I would never have thought to put “cucumber” and “cookie” in the same sentence. Very interesting!!! 8)

Try them…. you know you want to…. 8)
Those sound pretty tasty! I haven’t had cookies like that, but there’s a farmer’s market near our neighborhood on Wednesdays where this one lady has her baked goods for sale. We always get the chocolate zucchini cupcakes with powdered sugar icing! =P

Heehee, good idea.
Dragon87, these actually sound tasty. I’m going to print this out and give it to my brother to make; he likes producing cookies. 🙂
