Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg (50g)
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (45g) quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (1g) salt
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (140g) firmly squeezed shredded zucchini
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Grate the zucchini using the medium hole of a box grater. Place shreds into a clean kitchen towel and twist tightly, squeezing over the sink until no more water drips out.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and pale. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating for another 60 seconds until glossy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in the squeezed shredded zucchini and semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes or until edges are caramelized and mahogany brown.
