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

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one by one until completely blended, and mix in the the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and beat on low (or stir by hand) just until the ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix. The batter will be stiff.
- Add the zucchini and chocolate chips and mix just until incorporated.
- Scoop the cookies in approximately 2-tablespoon increments, about 2 inches apart, onto an ungreased non-stick cookie sheet or cookie sheet lined with silicone mat. (I recommend a cookie scoop for this step.)
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until the cookies seem set and light golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Zucchini is a versatile vegetable that can be used in many dishes. Don't just limit yourself to zucchini bread or muffins.
- Grating the zucchini finely will help it blend into the cookie dough more easily. If you don't have a grater, you can use a food processor.
- Be sure to blot the zucchini dry before adding it to the cookie dough. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too wet.
- Adding some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough can give them a nice crunchy texture.
- Don't overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
