Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies

What?  Zucchini in a cookie?  We eat it in bread don’t we?  Why not a cookie?  I have to say, these cookies all but disappear when I make them.  They are GOOD!

Because zucchini has such a high percentage of water, even after squeezing it out as much as you can, the cookies tend to bake a little on the cakey side, much like a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.  You will want to squeeze out as much liquid as you can before adding it to the batter.
