Just Call Me Martha

I am going to close up shop and only bake these delights from now on....Christmas, birthdays, Easter...all Zucchini Nut Bread Cookie Sandwiches all the time.

Seriously, I found these in a Martha Stewart magazine a while back. I clipped it out and added it to my recipe binder and it never saw the light of day again, until last Thursday.

At 10 am I realized I had to bring a baked good to my daughter's preschool carnival at 3 pm that day...gulp. Luckily, we didn't have anything else going on and I couldn't find a boxed mix in the pantry, although I tried. I was sure I had a spare cake mix in there for just this type of an emergency, but after spending 10 minutes tearing my kitchen apart it was not uncovered.

JK- Not my kitchen

So, off to my recipe binder I dashed to see what I could make with what I had in the house. I always make my standard cupcakes, you see Denver is at 5,280 feet above sea level and that high of an altitude plays nasty tricks when you bake. So, I have a few standard recipes I have tweaked and know I can count on and I boringly always make those same ones.

This recipe literally fell out of the binder when I picked it up and her presentation looked so cute, I couldn't resist.

Martha's Presentation

Here is the recipe for Zucchini Nut Bread Cookie Sandwiches from Martha Stewart.

They were easy and they are absolutely incredibly delicious...seriously.

I am so happy I decided to double the recipe so I could keep half at home! I used Martha's printables to dress up my own packaging for the batch that went to school. I printed the labels on full sheet sticker paper and just cut them out.

I wrapped the cookies up in parchment paper and tied the bundles with green and white bakers twine.I tried about 18 different ways to wrap these guys up and made a royal mess in the process, whoops, guess I just had to eat those messy guys myself.

Then I ripped some pieces from my roll of thin brown painter's paper (from Home Depot's painting department) to go under the labels.

The box is a random job that was $1 at the thrift store. I love having stuff like that around for emergencies!

Now, I love zucchini, but you can't even taste it in there with the cinnamon, brown sugar, toasted walnuts, and oats dancing in your mouth. I am dead serious, if I ever have to bring a dessert....like anywhere....I am bringing these!
