Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • These easy zucchini cookies have oatmeal in them as well!
  • This time of year a couple zucchini always end up too big. These cookies are perfect for larger zucchini to be used in.
  • You don't even have to squeeze out the liquid in the zucchini for this cookie recipe!

Ingredient Notes

  • Fresh Zucchini - This recipe requires fresh zucchini. Both the yellow and green varieties work!
  • Flour - All purpose flour.
  • Butter - I used salted butter but you can use unsalted butter as well.
  • Oatmeal - If you're out of quick cooking oatmeal you can pulse old fashioned or rolled oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it resembles the quick cooking oats.
  • Chocolate Chips - Whether you use milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips is entirely up to you.
  • Extras - Feel free to toss in a handful of crunchy pecans into the cookie dough!

Do I need to remove excess moisture from the zucchini?

I have found that for this recipe I have not needed to wring out excess water from the zucchini. The oatmeal absorbs any excess liquid with no problems.
