Ice cold milk and an Oreo Zucchini Chocolate Chip cookie…
Ha Ha Ha.
The Handsome Husband gobbled these right up, without complaint. So either A. He was starving, or B. He really liked them. I even warned him there was zucchini in the cookies and he still ate them! Can you believe it?
I guess you could say we have a winner folks. So if you have a gluten of zucchini sitting around, go make these zucchini chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious {I should know, I’ve had 3 already today}.

I made these today and they totally didn’t turn out! Though I’m pretty sure I didn’t mess up with the amounts, the dough was super runny. I think that there is a typo and there should either be less butter or more flour. What do you think?
Mavis says
Emily, I’m sorry. There was a typo. 🙁 It should have read 1/2 cup butter NOT 1 cup. I went in and fixed it. I’m terribly sorry about that.
Emily says
That’s ok! Thank you for fixing it so quickly. I’m going to try and make these again tomorrow. 🙂

Doh! I printed mine before I saw the comments! That explains a lot…

Even after reducing the butter to 1/2 cup, they still spread out all over. They certainly don’t look like the picture! Oh we’ll, they edges did taste good. I guess I will try a different recipe next year….

I had the same result. I kept adding flour until they were firm enough to hold a shape. They were still really flat, but had good flavor. I love the cinnamon! I’m trying again today. I will reduce the butter to the 1/2 c. and try draining all the liquid from the zucchini.
Nicole says
Wah, wah…take two with modifications, and I still had flat, gooey cookies. I did try your best ever chocolate chip cookie recipe and they were outstanding!
