Every summer we all see an abundance of zucchini recipes everywhere. Zucchini is very versatile with a simple mellow flavor so it can go in just about anything. So, why not add it to cookies? You may think, oh no that’s taking it too far, but these zucchini oatmeal cookies taste just like zucchini cake or zucchini bread rather in cookie form.
Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’d say this is definitely one of the best uses I could ever think of for zucchini. Saute it, bake it, or fry it – yes that’s always good. Peel and shred your zucchini using a box grater or food processor and use a paper towel to squeeze out the excess moisture, and you’re ready to mix it into pretty much anything. Put it in soup or toss it in as part of the main dish and yeah that’s quite delicious, but add it to cookies along with sweet cinnamon, chewy old-fashioned oats, crunchy pecans, and a fair amount of chocolate chips and you get something totally irresistible. (I bet these are delicious with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips!) Something just like what Grandma would have made. Delicious, homestyle, soft, and flavorful cookies. Sometimes the old-fashioned cookie recipes are just simply the best! Every summer I need to use up seasonal zucchini, and this is a new favorite. Try these Zucchini Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies soon, everyone will love them!
