Super soft Chocolate Zucchini Cookies are bursting with chocolate chips! Excellent for packing in lunches and they freeze well too!

Provided by Amy

Categories     Cookies     Dessert

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 whole egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup zucchini (shredded)
2 cups chocolate chips

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.
