- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3⅓ cups all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup cornstarch, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, 1¼ teaspoons baking soda, and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt; set aside.
-
Step 2.
Using an electric mixer, beat 1¼ cups (2½ sticks) unsalted butter (at room temperature), 1½ cups packed brown sugar, and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until combined, then beat in 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract.
-
Step 3.
Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in 1 cup grated zucchini, ¾ cup chopped peanuts, and ¾ cup broken pretzels until evenly distributed.
-
Step 4.
Drop scant ⅓ cupfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake until the bottoms are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets on a wire rack.
