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!
