ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
I love using zucchini in the summertime. This recipe reminds me of a zucchini bread my aunt makes, but I wanted to make cookies for a family get-together because they would be easier to grab and eat. These taste better if you make them the day before. -Melissa Obernesser, Oriskany, New York

Tips:
- Use a moist, tender zucchini. This will help the cookies stay moist and prevent them from becoming dry and crumbly.
- Grate the zucchini finely. This will help it disperse evenly throughout the batter and prevent the cookies from becoming too dense.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixed batter can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
