Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is a blend of others I've found on the internet. I was extremely low on butter, so I needed to add a few teaspoons of water at the end to make the dough more moist. If you run into this problem, try it, it works!
Ingredients:
1/8 cup unsalted butter, room temp.
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon (more if you're a spice junky like myself)
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup grated zucchini (about 1/4 of a zucchini)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (you can also use pecans or almonds too)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add dry ingredients into a large bowl - flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt
3. Cream butter and sugar together (I do this by hand, but only because I don't have a mixer)
4. Add egg to the butter and sugar mixture, then gradually stir in the dry ingredients.
5. Add grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
6. Fold in walnuts.
Drop by the spoonful onto parchment paper and bake for 12 minutes (until lightly browned around the edges and soft in the middle). Let cool for 5 minutes.
Makes 12 cookies, but it can easily be doubled or tripled. I'm just trying to watch my girlish figure ;)
