Zucchini Cookies

From: Tracey Garner

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed tight
1 cup softened butter
1 tsp baking soda
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup peeled and shredded zucchini (about 3 8" zucchinis)
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 oz chocolate chips
4 cups all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put white and brown sugar in bowl. Add the softened butter and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture is fluffy. Mix in baking soda and make sure it's evenly distributed. Beat the 2 eggs in a glass with a fork and then add them to your bowl. Add vanilla and mix thoroughly. Stir in zucchini and mix until zucchini is thoroughly incorporated. Add chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Mix well. Add the flour in one-cup increments, stirring after each addition. When all the flour has been added and stirred in, the resulting dough will be quite stiff. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet that has been greased. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown.


What I did differently from the recipe:
I left out the walnuts because I don't like nuts so much.

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs UP!! These have been SO popular since I made them! They've been passed around church, restaurants, work, family, friends, children, adults... every single person who has tried them has simply raved about them. I made about 10 a day for almost a week until I ran out of batter, so I was able to share them with everyone. We get lots of zucchini so this is a fabulous way for us to use our zucchini! Best of all is the look on someone's face when they realize you are passing out... zucchini cookies!?!? :)
