Chocolate Chips Zucchini

This is a great way to sneak vegetable into your baking. These are decadent cookies and definitely not your standard drop cookie. The Zucchini provides moisture to this cookie and make this soft and almost cupcake like. So chocolaty and delicious! 

It's been my passion and almost obsession to incorporate fruits and vegetables to my baking. My little boy inspired me to bake healthy. This is now his favorite.... hehe
