Time 1h

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Stir the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat the sugar and margarine with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the butter until completely blended; beat the vanilla into the mixture with the last egg. Stir the zucchini through the mixture until evenly distributed. Mix the flour mixture into the zucchini mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in batches in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: For best results, use a medium-sized zucchini that is fresh and firm. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has blemishes.
  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini incorporate evenly into the batter and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will result in dry cookies. Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: This will help the cookies firm up and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Chocolate zucchini cookies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a sweet treat to satisfy your cravings or a healthy snack to keep you going, chocolate zucchini cookies are a great option.
