Ingredients

• 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup (shredded and squeezed to remove excess moisture) Zucchini
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded zucchini and raisins or chocolate chips, if using, ensuring the mixture is well combined.

Step 8

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
