¼ cup chopped red bell pepper

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
Add shredded cheese, spinach, zucchini, bell pepper, and olive oil.
Stir to combine.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
Stir until a thick, scoopable dough forms.
If using optional mix-ins, fold them in now.
Step 5: Form the Cookies
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and shape into thick discs.
Place on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 6: Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Squeeze Out Moisture – Press liquid out of zucchini and spinach so the cookies don’t get soggy.
Shred Fresh Cheese – It melts better and avoids added starches from pre-shredded types.
Double the Batch – These freeze beautifully for meal prep.
Add Crunch – Stir in chopped nuts or seeds for added texture.
Use a Cookie Scoop – This helps shape uniform cookies for even baking.
