I am very disappointed in these cookies. First of all they don't look anything like the picture and secondly I cooked them for 15 minutes and they were golden but they weren't cooked in the middle. Where did I go wrong. I don't think I will make these again. Please help! Thanks

Hello - We're sorry to hear these cookies didn't turn out as you expected them to. It's hard to say what may have gone wrong for you, since we're not sure exactly what steps you took, but some things to consider are 1) All ovens are different. It may be that you just needed a few extra minutes to finish cooking your cookies 2) Make sure your cookies are placed on the middle rack and not the lower rack of your oven 3) For photo purposes, we did add a few extra strands of zucchini to the top of our cookies after we dropped the batter. - We hope you'll give these another try, as they were very good when we made them in the Test Kitchen. Please let us know if you do! Thank you for your comment.
