Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe Description

These Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a really fun thing to make! The zucchini leave little green flecks in the cookies which I think looks really cool. And of course, it’s another sneaky way for me to get more vegetables into my kids without complaints!

To make these cookies, I mix up the cookie dough in different stages. I usually reserve about ⅓ cup of chocolate chips and press them into the tops of dough balls before baking. I think it looks great, but it’s optional! These cookies will keep for a few days in an airtight container.

To make Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

These Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are sooo good! Made ’em last week for the fam, and my kids had no clue about the sneaky veggies. Love how easy they were to whip up, plus they looked fab with the choc chips on top. Total win!

I’m so greatful for this recipe! My kids loved the colors of the zucchini in the cookies. It’s a sneaky way to add veggies to their diet. These cookies turned out soft and chewy. I even let them add some extra chocolate chips on top before baking. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic! These cookies turned out super yummy. I made them for a movie night with friends and everyone loved the little green specks. They had no idea it was zucchini! Who knew sneaky veggies could taste so good. Definitely a new favorite for sure.
