Ingredients

• 1 cup (shredded and squeezed to remove excess moisture) Zucchini
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded and squeezed zucchini, then gently stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
