Equipment

  • large cookie sheet
  • stand mixer
  • large mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/2 cup grated zucchini remove extra moisture
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  • Grate zucchini using a box grater. Remove excess moisture using paper towels. Squeeze until zucchini is not dripping wet. Too much liquid will ruin the cookie consistency; set aside.

  • Mix over low-medium speed until dough is combined. Fold in chocolate chips and raisins.
  • Remove batter from stand mixer bowl, and scrape down sides. Add batter to a large plastic wrap sheet and roll.
  • Cover tightly and place roll of dough in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Dough must be chilled to bake up perfectly.
  • Once ready to bake, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of batter onto a baking sheet and space cookies at least 2" apart.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cookies will be golden brown.
  • Allow to cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
