Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter softened to room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour or half all-purpose, half whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded zucchini about 1 medium
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Begin by shredding the zucchini. Using a paper towel, wring out as much liquid as you can from the zucchini.
  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix until smooth.
  • Then add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and zucchini. Mix until just until combined and there are no dry flour streaks visible. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Bake for 8 -10 minutes or until the cookies begin to spring back after touching them. Cool and enjoy.
