Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups shredded zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
- 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
Fold in the shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips to the dough and fold until combined.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
