Can you tell we love chocolate chip cookies?

First Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies, then Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, and now these.  Before these varieties I always used a more standard recipe – heavily influenced by the people at Tollhouse.  I’ve only recently began branching out (no, 2012 will not be The Year of the Chocolate Chip Cookie.)

I actually decided to make these on a whim.  I intended to make zucchini bread but we didn’t have all the ingredients.  So I made these instead.  They are kind of a combo of zucchini bread and chocolate chip cookies, really.  Weird when you first taste them, then yummy.  A good way to sneak veggies into your favorite cookie snack :)

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup finely shredded zucchini
• 12 oz chocolate chips

Directions

1. Combine first five ingredients in large bowl.  Combine dry ingredients in a separate, small bowl and blend into liquid mixture
2. Stir zucchini and chocolate chips into other ingredients, mix well. Drop by spoonful onto greased baking sheet, and flatten with the back of a spoon. Bake at 350° for 10 to 15 minutes.
