Create soft, chewy zucchini cookies loaded with chocolate chips and oatmeal. This recipe uses garden zucchini for a moist, family-friendly dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups finely shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the squeezed, shredded zucchini, rolled oats, and chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Squeeze excess moisture from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step prevents the cookies from becoming too wet.
  • For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not instant oats.
  • If you want a slightly healthier cookie, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
