DARK CHOCOLATE CHIP, OATMEAL, ZUCCHINI COOKIE
I found a zucchini cookie recipe in the newspaper, made it for my wife and she ate three cookies before they had cooled. I decided to change some of the ingredients without changing her desire to eat them as fast as I can make them. This recipe has "it's a keeper" from all of my "taste test dummies" that have volunteered to try them. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. P.s. my neighbors 3 year old son won't eat zucchini, but stuffs himself with these cookies.

ZUCCHINI OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
We all have the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe, but does yours have vegetables and oats? This delicious cookie has it all -- zucchini, oats, whole wheat flour, you name it. Toasted pecans and dark chocolate chips add just enough buttery crunch and sweet melt to put it over the top. Ditch your plain jane cookie and try this one that has a little of everything!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. F Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Lay out the grated zucchini on a paper-towel lined plate, to absorb as much water as possible. Set aside.
- Whisk the oats, flour, salt, baking soda and allspice together in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment) on medium speed until light yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix on low just until there's no more powdery residue, 15 to 20 seconds, then add the zucchini, chocolate chips and toasted pecans if using and mix on low until there is no dry flour in the dough.
- Use a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 1 inch apart. Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt if using. Bake until the tops and sides start to brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:
- Use ripe zucchini: The riper the zucchini, the more moisture it will add to the cookies, making them extra fudgy and moist.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cookies tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking can make the cookies dry and crumbly, so bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Conclusion:
These dark chocolate chip oatmeal zucchini cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are packed with nutritious ingredients like zucchini, oats, and dark chocolate chips, and they are also gluten-free and refined sugar-free. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, reach for one of these cookies instead of a sugary processed snack.
