Chewy from oatmeal, loaded with chocolate chips and uses up shredded zucchini – these zucchini cookies are one of my favorite ways to use up summertime zuchinni. You know me, I’d rather bake up something sweet rather than make grilled zucchini or fried zucchini (although those are delicious recipes as well).

Zucchini Cookies

Zucchini cookies aren’t the first thing that you think of when you want to use up zucchini. I think of zucchini loaf, or chocolate zucchini cake or even better, zuccini banana bread that uses up bananas and zucchini.These cookies are cakey, delicious little chocolate delights loaded up with oatmeal.

Remove Excess Moisture From the Zucchini

Make sure that you pat some of the excess moisture from the zucchini with paper towels. It doesn’t have to be bone dry, but the zucchini shouldn’t be sopping wet or the cookies won’t bake up properly.

Could I even venture to stay they are healthy for you because of the zucchini? Oh, if only! If they can’t be healthy at least they can be a great way to use up some of the abundant zucchini that we find ourselves with this time of year!

Happy Baking!

Love,

    Julie Mendonca- follow this kitchen maven. Magpie has a little bit of delicious every day.

  2. Mimiellie3 says

    I had shredded zucchini to use up. Is the “shredded” zucchini really grated ? I’m just concerned because of the size of the shred…

    These look delicious!  I’ve got quite a few zucchini growing in my garden, and I think I’ll designate some for these cookies!

  7. Sharon Thomas says

    So if was to substitute carob chips for chocolate chips…I could then claim them as a “healthy” snack, right? 😉

  8. The Kitchen Magpie says

    Ha! Just wait! I have a few other recipes to try that might change your mind about the sweet!

  9. Amy Melby says

    Oooh, they sound delish. This and other desserts are the ONLY reason I will ever have zucchini in my house, lol

  10. The Kitchen Magpie says

    Zucchini like it hot and lots of water! I had one gigantic one and now I am waiting for the rest lol. It’s weird!

  11. Bake Eat Repeat says

    Those look amazing! I can’t believe you have zucchini ready already! Mine are still tiny. But then, I’ve never had much luck with zucchini!
