We took out 1/2 the fat and sugar, and added freshly grated zucchini and dark chocolate chips for a healthier twist on a classic chocolate chip cookie!
Servings: 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 c. shredded zucchini
- 1 c. quick oats
- 1 c. chopped pecans
- 1 2/3 c. dark chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop cookie dough by rounded teaspoonful 2-inches apart onto prepared baking sheets. Lightly press each dough ball down with your fingertips to flatten slightly.
