Cuisine: Dessert/Snack
Serves: 8 doz
Ingredients
  • 1 cup of butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt or 1 tsp regular salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups finely grated zucchini
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease two cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper and set aside
  3. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars for one minute. Add eggs and mix for one more minute or until well combined. You may need to scrape the sides down during this process.
  4. Next, add the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix for a few seconds and then add the flour. I add one cup at a time with the mixer on a medium-slow speed.
  5. Once the flour is evenly incorporated add the shredded zucchini, chocolate chips, and nuts. Mix for approx. 30 seconds on medium speed or until everything is well distributed. If using a stand mixer, make sure to check that the bottom of the dough is also getting some zucchini and chocolate chips. You may need to stir things by hand a little at the end.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough balls that are approx. 2 tbsp and two inches apart on the greased cookie sheets.
  7. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  8. Let cookies cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. Let completely cool before putting in an airtight container or putting in Ziploc bags to freeze.
  9. Enjoy!
