This would make a powdery mess, not bisuits, missing soy milk or sumthing?

It would seem that this recipe is wrong, but the zucchini (especially if you use frozen/defrosted zucchini)has a lot of liquid in it. This recipe is awesome. These are some of the best cookies I've ever tasted - vegan or otherwise! I had some frozen zucchini from the summer garden. We ran out of room in the freezer because our plants produced so much zucchini. Next year I'm going to hoard it all and freeze it to make these cookies!!!!
