Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 5 cups flour divided
  • 3 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups grated raw zucchini (peeled or unpeeled depending on preference)
  • 1 12-ounce package chocolate chips 

Instructions

  • Prep: Start by peeling the zucchini and grating it, depending on the size of the zucchini you may need 1-2 to get the full 2 cups needed for this recipe. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicon mat or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine and beat together the sugar and softened butter until creamy. Then add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mix well until combined. Then, add in 4 cups of flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well. Next, pour in the grated zucchini and the chocolate chips and stir until well combined.
  • At this point, you may want to add more flour, depending on how wet your zucchini is. I usually need to add additional 1-1 1/2 cups of flour. In the batch pictured below, I added 1 1/2 cups for a total of 5 1/2 cups flour. The cookies end up being thick and cake-like and we love them this way, but if you want a thinner, chewier cookie, don't add quite as much flour. Either way, the dough will be stickier than most regular chocolate chip cookie recipes.
  • Proceed to use a cookie scoop to drop cookies onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the tops start turning a light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes, then serve and enjoy!
