Chewy from oatmeal, loaded with chocolate chips and uses up shredded zucchini – these zucchini cookies are one of my favorite ways to use up summertime zuchinni. You know me, I’d rather bake up something sweet rather than make grilled zucchini or fried zucchini (although those are delicious recipes as well).

Zucchini Cookies
Zucchini cookies aren’t the first thing that you think of when you want to use up zucchini. I think of zucchini loaf, or chocolate zucchini cake or even better, zuccini banana bread that uses up bananas and zucchini.These cookies are cakey, delicious little chocolate delights loaded up with oatmeal.
Remove Excess Moisture From the Zucchini
Make sure that you pat some of the excess moisture from the zucchini with paper towels. It doesn’t have to be bone dry, but the zucchini shouldn’t be sopping wet or the cookies won’t bake up properly.

Could I even venture to stay they are healthy for you because of the zucchini? Oh, if only! If they can’t be healthy at least they can be a great way to use up some of the abundant zucchini that we find ourselves with this time of year!
Happy Baking!
