Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil (softened)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoon honey
2 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

Mix salt, baking soda, baking powder and flours together and add to the wet mixture in four parts. Gently stir in the oats and coconut with your hands or a wooden spoon to moisten all the ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips and walnuts. To Freeze: Roll batter into a log (2-3 inches in diameter) and wrap in parchment paper, then saran wrap, then tin foil and freeze. Bake 1/2 inch thick slices of the batter on a lined or buttered baking sheet at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. If skipping the freezing phase, roll 1 tablespoon of the batter between your palms to form balls, place on baking sheet and press down to flatten slightly; bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until middle is just slightly wet. Take out of oven and allow to sit for 1-2 minutes. Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I love using zucchini in the summertime. This recipe reminds me of a zucchini bread my aunt makes, but I wanted to make cookies for a family get-together because they would be easier to grab and eat. These taste better if you make them the day before. -Melissa Obernesser, Oriskany, New York
