What better use for a Monster Zucchini than to make Zucchini Monster Cookies?
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess liquid)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups peanut butter (I used crunchy but you can use creamy if you prefer)
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup M&M’s
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the zucchini, sugars, and peanut butter until well blended. Add eggs, salt, and vanilla and mix well. Mix in soda, oats, and flour until combined. Stir in chips, and M&M’s.
Drop by heaping spoonfuls onto a silicone baking mat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet about 2” apart. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden. Let set on cookie sheet about 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container.
Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.
