Cucumbers aren’t just for making pickles with (although they are sure are yummy). You can also bake with cucumber, similar to how you’d use zucchini or pumpkin (check out my Cucumber Bread recipe!). All you have to do is remove the seeds and grate the cucumber to get a similar texture.
Cucumber Dessert Recipe
I’ve been using cucumber in multiple baking recipes this Summer, like this Sugar Glazed Cucumber Bread, and we’ve been loving it! For this recipe I was inspired by Oatmeal Sugar Cookies that I used to love as a kid. This recipe uses no oatmeal, but it has the same chewy consistency, along with the sugar frosting. The cucumber is hardly tasted in this recipe, but slightly visible with beautiful green specks decorating the cookie here or there.
After family and friends tell you they love the cookies then you can tell them they are made with cucumbers. They will be shocked, trust me, I do it all the time! Then they’ll ask you for the recipe!
Enjoy these Frosted Cucumber Cookies! I think you will love these healthy-ish cookies!
