ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
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

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grate zucchini. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars until fluffy, about two minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Beat two more minutes.
- Add baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix for one minute.
- Add cocoa and flour. Beat just until combined. The dough will be stiff.
- Add grated zucchini and chocolate chips. Mix only until incorporated. As the dough sits the zucchini will start releasing some of the water in it and the dough will become thinner and "wetter". The last batch of cookies might be flatter than the first, because of the amount of time the zucchini sits in the cookie dough before baking.
- Drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in 2 Tablespoon sized cookies.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Be careful to not over bake.
- Let cookies cool on the sheet of a minute, then remove to a cookie rack to finish cooling.

Tips:
- Use a fine grater to shred the zucchini. This will help the zucchini blend into the batter more easily and prevent it from becoming stringy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just set. Don't overbake the cookies, or they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from falling apart.
Conclusion:
These chocolate zucchini cookies are a delicious and easy way to use up zucchini. They are moist and chocolatey, with a hint of zucchini flavor. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or lunchbox treat. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give these cookies a try!
