Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies
by Rachel Keller

This is a delicious way to use up that extra zucchini! The chocolate chips and nuts are optional, but I always enjoy the taste of chocolate chips. For variety, you can add different flavored chips.

Every year, I have friends who give me extra zucchini. I received this recipe (along with some cookies and extra zucchini) from a friend at church several summers ago.

1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 cup grated zucchini
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
Optional:
1-2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup nuts

Preheat oven to 370.

Cream shortening and sugar. Blend eggs and enough zucchini to measure 2 1/4 cup. Add the sugar and shortening mixture to the zucchini. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

Drop by teaspoonful on cookie sheet and bake 8-10 minutes.

Zucchini Oatmeal Cookies is another great zucchini recipe!
