  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans or walnutes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350’C. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use hand mixer whip together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract.
  • Add zucchini, then slowly add in flour mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts and chocolate chips (I reserved 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips to press into the tops of dough balls before baking, just for looks which is totally optional).
  • Shape dough into balls, 1-2 tbsp each, then transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inch apart.
  • Bake in preheated oven 15 mins until edges are lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
