If you enjoy classic Zucchini Bread, these sweetly spiced Soft and Chewy Spiced Zucchini Cookies are for you!

Of all the numerous flavors of quick bread that are out there, my absolute favorite is without a doubt zucchini bread.

January is the coldest month where I live. Survival calls for wool sweaters, steaming cups of tea, warm tartan blankets, and most of all, healthy homemade baked goods like this.
