Ice cold milk and an Oreo Zucchini Chocolate Chip cookie…
Ha Ha Ha.
The Handsome Husband gobbled these right up, without complaint. So either A. He was starving, or B. He really liked them. I even warned him there was zucchini in the cookies and he still ate them! Can you believe it?
I guess you could say we have a winner folks. So if you have a gluten of zucchini sitting around, go make these zucchini chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious {I should know, I’ve had 3 already today}.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl cream together the butter, eggs, vanilla and sugar until nice and fluffy {about 1 minute}. Add the dry to the wet and mix well. Fold in shredded zucchini and chocolate chips.
Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and drop dough on a silpat lined pan or parchment paper and bake for 13 minutes at 350 degrees.
Cool, and serve with a big glass of milk.

Yum! Iv’e got zuchinni in the freezer.
I made these today and they totally didn’t turn out! Though I’m pretty sure I didn’t mess up with the amounts, the dough was super runny. I think that there is a typo and there should either be less butter or more flour. What do you think?
Emily, I’m sorry. There was a typo.
It should have read 1/2 cup butter NOT 1 cup. I went in and fixed it. I’m terribly sorry about that.
That’s ok! Thank you for fixing it so quickly. I’m going to try and make these again tomorrow.
Doh! I printed mine before I saw the comments! That explains a lot…
Even after reducing the butter to 1/2 cup, they still spread out all over. They certainly don’t look like the picture! Oh we’ll, they edges did taste good. I guess I will try a different recipe next year….
