Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
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.
