Chocolate Zucchini Cookies Recipe Rating 4

This recipe started out as a plain zucchini cookie. But over the years, I added nuts and chocolate chips. These soft cookies never make it to the cookie jar!

I read the reviews before baking these and decided to reduce the flour by 1 cup and add 1 cup cocoa. I reduced the amount of nutmeg to 1/2 tsp. (as I dislike nutmeg). I also omitted the nuts but still added the chocolate chips. This will be the first time ever that I think the chocolate chips actually didn't add much to the cookie. I think they tasted great without them and next time will not add them. These were wonderful even with all my alterations.

These are some of the best cookies you will ever wrap your lips around. Just don't tell them that they have zucchini in the cookies until after they try them. These cookies are wonderful with or without the chocolate chips or the nuts. They disapper with lightening speed. I just wish the fresh zucchini was available year round. But if you have the freezer space they freeze well.

This is a great recipe! My kids and family love them, I made them yesterday and now am making them again today because they were gone. A better title would be chocolate chip zucchini cookies. But, they are a wonderful cookie and a delicous way to use up garden zucchini.

See these cookies pictured on my page. This recipe was easy to make. As the first reviewer stated these are not chocolate cookies they just have chocolate chips in them. I am glad I read that as I reduced the amount of flour by one cup and added one cup of cocoa. Now they are serious Chocolate Zucchini Cookies. I decided to dust them with conf sugar to make them pretty. They are soft and comforting.

These cookies are not chocolate cookies--they just have chocolate chips in them.
