Hello Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These are yummy chocolate chip cookies, but I like to consider them healthy because whenever I add a vegetable in they immediately should be declared healthy. Look ma, I’m eating my vegetables (wrapped up in brown sugar, butter and chocolate chips, but still..)!
In all honesty though, they’re a great way to add a little bit of vegetable to your regular cookie!
Zucchini Cookies Recipe
Did you know that you can bake with zuccchini? It’s true! You can make these delicious zucchini cookies! You can also make zucchini bread!
Also, I really love the appearance of these cookies because even though at first glance they look like regular chocolate chip cookies, when you look closer you can see the green specks of zucchini. I think they’re gorgeous!
These chocolate chip cookies are crunchy and the entire family is going to love them! They’re easy to pack and go, sometimes I love taking 2 for the road for “breakfast on the go!”.
Ingredients for Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients for these cookies are basic, you probably have everything you need in your baking cabinet already! The cookies have a little bit of cinnamon and cloves in them that gives them a touch of a taste of a Fall cookie.
You’ll also need 1 cup of grated zucchini!
How to Ship Cookies
This year I plan on lots of baking for holiday presents to friends and family. I have been looking for ways to ship baked goods the best way possible to prevent cookie breakage (and heart breakage).
I found that if you use plastic pint containers (even better, just reuse your takeout pint containers after washing out) and layer each level with parchment paper, your cookies stay safe in the mail! I will be using this method for various sandwich pies and cookies during the holiday season. 
I hope you all enjoy these Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies!
I dare you to only eat one!
Ok, I dare you to only eat two.
Enjoy!

I’m seeing zucchinis in all sorts of baked goods now. This is a great idea Pamela, yum! 🙂 Have a great week.
Be careful, growing zucchini can get addictive! I’ve still have some leftover from this summer harvest… it will never end! (not that I complain or something, I’d love to try these cookies, they look delish and super cute with all those zucchini specks) 🙂
I didn’t think gardens could exist without zucchini 🙂 love the idea of the containers.
These cookies look wonderful Pamela! I love zucchini, especially in baked goods 🙂 Great idea for the shipping container, thanks for sharing and hope you have a great week 🙂
love love love this recipe! I totally won’t feel bad about eating 5 of these because I’m just eating my greens right?
That’s how I see it Davida! 🙂
I agree – the green specks are so pretty in these cookies! I am a HUGE fan of zucchini – I don’t think I ever leave the grocery store without at least 1!
I don’t garden, but I hear that zucchini can totally take over your garden and give you more veggies than you can possibly eat!! These cookies look awesome – love the flecks of green 🙂
Of course these cookies are healthy. wink wink! I bet they are very moist too with the addition of the zuchinni. Have a super week. BAM
Totally agree — add a veggie, instantly healthy. What I’m caught up on is the fact that you had a huge beautiful garden and didn’t grow any zucchini!! I love them so much, plus they take off like crazy. My parents always plant just 2 plants and have way more zucchini than they can pawn off on relatives/neighbors.
I have the same mental mindset; veggie = healthy! Kudos to you for 1) still using zucchini, and 2) making cookies with it! I made a dozen things from our zucchini plant this year (warning, it proliferates!) but never cookies. Your gift idea is so cute!
You seriously need to put all these types of recipes into a cookbook titled, “Sneaking Veggies into Your Kids.” You’ll make millions!
Francine, I absolutely love that title.. I’ll be sure to give you credit (and zucchini cookies for a lifetime!). 😉
These look so delicious!! I wanted to make a lot of zucchini desserts this summer, but the squash bugs got to all of our zucchini plants before we could get to the squash bugs! Boo. After several years of growing zucchini, I couldn’t bear the thought of buying them at the grocery store! But for these cookies I may have to… 🙂
Ohhh! Yes, yes you totally should grow zucchini! I just love it … and I can’t wait for your recipes if you had so much you didn’t know what to do with it! SO many options!!!! Yay!!!
I can’t wait to try these!!! Zucchini cookies?!? Ummmm …YES PLEASE!!! 😀
We call them courgettes over here and I too didn’t eat them much growing up. The one time I did, I hated them! But since then, I have tried them in muffins and breads and loved it, never seen it in a cookie though – they look sooo good!
I’ve definitely made zucchini bread before…which is awesome! But zucchini cookies have never reached my radar. I will have to make them now! They look awesome! Isn’t it great how you can hide a vegetable in something so delicious? Try zucchini in pancakes too!!
Pamela, you’re the most heart felt blogger I know. I mean seriously, you live through your heart center and I think that is what I Love most about your blog. You play and create and just love! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that your spirit shines through your blog. I think you have created a new cookie here. I’ve definitely never seen zucchini used in a cookie, but they look simply scrumptious! You should bring a batch into your students and see if they notice any thing different in the cookies. Have a blissful Monday! xoxo, Jackie
Jackie, your comment made me blush. Sending you big hugs! 🙂
Yay, zucchini cookies! I just have large one sitting on the counter waiting to be used some kind of a recipe. I have to try this, it sounds so yummy, I love zucchini bread so I’m sure I’ll love these Pinning!
I’ll take some zucchini in my cookie! Looks great, love zucchini bread too!
I’ve never thought to add zucchini to cookies – great idea! I also love your cooke shipping tip… a perfect way to reuse those take out containers.
Major yum for these cookies! Baking with zucchini is the best. You’ll love growing it too, because it grows like crazy!
Interesting that you didn’t grow up eating zucchini! I love it just sauteed with onions and some basil. yum. These cookies sounds like an even better way to enjoy it though 😉 The pint containers are a great idea. I usually try to bake up things that travel well (bar cookies are great for this!).
These look good! Nice idea about the pint containers…I’ll have to keep that in mind. Also, I think baking for gifts to people is the best!
I love how thin and crispy these turned out! And I can imagine how fragrant they must have smelled while baking, especially with the cloves!
What a cute way to give em’ as gifts.
In fact, I was talking to my friends about your rooftop garden this past week. I completely adore you my girl for growing your own veggies.
These cookies look awesome and must taste equally awesome.
Thanks Ash. <3
I bet these are delicious and you can’t even tell there’s zucchini in them! They look so good!
What a great way to use zucchini! I made zucchini cake a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with it. It’s such a great add-in to baking.
Your cookies look terrific…and thanks for the neat packing tip!!!
I love finding new ways to use up zucchini in things and these cookies are a great way to do it. They look really yummy! I made lemon zucchini cookies this summer and enjoyed them.
I made zucchini cookies for the first time recently and it knocked my socks off! There’s some magic in those zucchinis for sure! Now you’ve got me thinking I need to add chocolate chips to my next batch. That can only make the experience better!
I love those green specks too! Yum!
Wow – I’ve never heard of ANY cookies made with zucchini. I know how moist zucchini bread is and I bet these cookies are really fabulous!
(I don’t know if you’ve seen my post for the snackin’ cakes I told you about. I mention both you, your blog & your love of Nutella!! )
I’m heading over to your blog now!
I really like the addition of zucchini to a cookie recipe. Looks and sounds so delicious! A must try!
MMMMMMM! I love zuchini chocolate bread so I know that I will love these zuchini chocolte chip cookies. Mmmmmm,….yummmmm. I dare to eat 4, at least.
The dare is on – I will eat one..then two…wait you never said “less than” 🙂
Love these cookies lady! They look so “innocent” !
These looks delish! Pinning these because we are so making them!!
The cookies look wonderful, I love the addition of the zucchini in them.
So glad you shared these great cookies on the Four Seasons Blog Hop! I have never thought about adding zuchinni to chocolate chip cookies but I bet they make them really moist and you are absolutely right you can declare them healthy and eat away!! Perfect.
Great idea to sneak zucchini into a chocolate chip cookie! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
–These look Fab!
