Triple Chocolate Zucchini Cookies
These cookies. You guys, these cookies.
They are magnificent and so utterly surprising (meaning not cakey at all – just pure blissful chocolate richness) that I’m hoping and praying I can easily find zucchini all the year round without having to take out a high-interest loan in, say, January to afford it.
Because you better believe, I’m going to be craving these cookies in January. And beyond.
I am in love, love, love with these babies.
Often times baked goods made with zucchini end up being moist and light and kind of bouncy (you get me?) and that’s a really great characteristic in something like chocolate zucchini cake, but when it comes to me and my chocolate cookies, I want them soft and slightly dense and rich and chocolatey and completely unbouncy.
These amazing chocolate zucchini cookies are not like cake at all, thank the good heavens.
In fact, their texture reminds me a lot of these superiorly soft and delicious egg-free double chocolate cookies. Which means I’m completely undone by the deliciousness and can’t resist them. Not at all.
And the zucchini, a wonderful addition, is there but not really in your face there, if you know what I mean.
If you’ve seen me lament on Instagram about not quite getting a fudgy zucchini brownie perfected (after what’s now been six batches), methinks that this batter spread into a baking pan may actually do the trick.
I’m itching to try just that as soon as I can pawn some zucchini off the next person I see. And when I can stand to see another zucchini brownie in my kitchen again. That may be a while considering all the fails of this week.
Back to these cookies, though.
Here’s my stern advice: Don’t even consider putting zucchini in anything else until you make these. They are that good. Plus, I just showed you how to drain zucchini without breaking a sweat. No excuses.

Zucchini: here's a quick video on draining zucchini. If you start with about 2 cups of shredded zucchini, you should end up with about 1 cup after draining (although it will depend on the exact zucchini - both size and variety and water content).
