Description
Delicious cookies that combine zucchini with chocolate chips for a moist and chewy treat, perfect for snacks or lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (about one medium zucchini)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Shred the zucchini with a box grater and measure 1 cup. Squeeze gently in a towel if watery.
- Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded zucchini until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry mix to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
Press watery zucchini in a towel before measuring. Chilling the dough before baking results in thicker cookies.
