Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the zucchini by grating it and squeezing out excess moisture.
- Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated zucchini and chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies in a single layer, separated by parchment paper, for up to three months.
- To reheat frozen cookies, thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.
