I’ll admit it, I’ve never baked with zucchini before. Really, besides grilling it and sauteing, I haven’t done anything else with it. I was excited to plant it this year because I wanted those zucchini blossoms, but I was tired of hearing how good zucchini baked goods were without ever tasting them myself! This summer, this will change.
Of course, my first treat on the agenda was cookies. I skipped right over the obvious bread! These were delicious! Even my husband, who hates zucchini, loved them! I didn’t even trick him, he knew what was inside.
These are not healthy, there are 2 sticks of butter, but it’s a great way to get some vegetables in to someone who wouldn’t eat them otherwise. There were quite a few comments on the original recipe. Some stating that the cookie dough was runny and the cookie was bland. None of that here. I did add more chocolate chips than the original recipe called for. If you are going to have them in there, I need to see them! I also love seeing the little bits of green in there. Makes for such a pretty cookie.
Alright everyone, go eat your veggies!

Wow, coolies with zucchini sound amazing! I also have to admit, I’ve never baked with zucchini before.

I have never thought of using zucchini in cookies. This is so unique! I bet you can’t really even tell there is a vegetable hiding in that delicious little cookie:)

These look great! I’ve baked zucchini bread, and put black beans and avocado in brownies, but veggies in cookies: I can get behind this too!

I enjoy baking with zucchini. It keeps your baked good moist without altering the flavor. The only real downside is that they do have to be refrigerated. I’m not a huge fan of cold cookies/brownies/etc unless there’s ice cream involved 😉
These do sound delish, tho and I will definitely be trying them 🙂

Super-yummy looking! I would also toy with adding some walnuts! I imagine adding a bit o’cinnamon would also “jazz” it up a bit. Oh, how about substituting some shredded carrots for some of the zucchini…so cheerful! Thanks for the recipe!

I love these cookies and my 3 year old does, too! They make a great “breakfast cookie” too! 😉 A great way to use all the zucchini we’ve been getting this summer!
