Delicious Oatmeal Zucchini Cookies
There is nothing we love more than a chewy zucchini cookie. These delicious oatmeal zucchini cookies are a delicious spin-off of our flourless monster cookies. Take out the M&Ms and add shredded zucchini and you’ve got a serving of vegetables. You can make these zucchini cookies with shredded zucchini from your garden or with the zucchini you froze for later. We highly recommend making a double batch of these cookies to freeze some for later, too!
Ingredients You Need
All of the ingredients for these oatmeal zucchini cookies make up a delicious cookie.
Zucchini- two medium zucchinis turn out to be about 1 cup of shredded zucchini. Unsalted butter– when baking we use unsalted butter. Light brown sugar– we use a bit of brown sugar to sweeten up these oatmeal zucchini cookies. Maple syrup– we love that adding maple syrup to cookies takes them up a notch!Egg– use large eggs, not medium or jumbo. Cashew butter– the secret deliciousness of these cookies comes from the drippy cashew butter. We love the Trader Joe or Good & Gather brand cashew butter. As long as it’s drippy and not dry it works!Vanilla extract– every cookie needs its vanilla extract. Salt– the salt in these cookies enhances all of the flavors in these cookies. Quick-cooking oats- we recommend using quick-cooking oats over rolled oats because they hold together better.Baking soda– these cookies rise perfectly from a little bit of baking soda.Semi sweet chocolate chips– oh baby, the combination of chocolate chips, cashew butter, and zucchini is so delicious!
#1 Tip for Zucchini Cookies
Our #1 tip to make sure you have perfectly chewy, soft zucchini cookies is to properly remove the moisture from your shredded zucchini. Baking Sheet After you coarsely shred your zucchini, we recommend letting it sit in a lined bowl so that the moisture can draw out. From there, you can use a tea towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. That way, your cookies don’t turn out too mushy with too much liquid!
