Of course you can.  'Exporting' from Zotero can occur with a single
reference or a whole Zotero collection (folder).

If you make a new Zotero Collection (a folder in the left-side panel),
and select that library (single click, to highlight it) while gathering
your web sources, then all the sources you save will be in that
collection.

Then, when you're done searching the web, you simply right-click that
collection (that folder in Zotero's folder list) and choose 'Export
Collection...' from the contextual menu.

That exports a file that EndNote can read with no problems.

You can also, of course, export only one reference at a time -- but
that's silly.


Zotero and Google Scholar are a great companion, since Google Scholar
does not 'group' references or allow 'marking' and then group exporting.

This way, each time you click the 'Import into EndNote' link in Google
Scholar, the reference is actually added to Zotero instead of
downloading a file called 'scholar.enw', for example.

(Again, it's easiest to make a new folder in the Zotero folder list to
hold all of these while you work.)


Then, when done, one click of 'Export Collection...' from the Zotero
menu is all that is needed to make an EndNote-importable file.
