Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup zucchini, finely grated
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated zucchini, then set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir together with a whisk and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the squeezed zucchini, rolled oats, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
