Bet I caught you off guard with this one! This recipe is straight from my Grandma's recipe box. I remember her making these when we were little. We'd gobble them up & then she would proudly announce that they were zucchini cookies. Like my Mom said, there wasn't a vegetable that my Grandma could leave alone. And while I didn't appreciate it with brussel sprouts, this time I am thankful. I've tweaked them a bit from my Grandma's recipe, she used dates instead of chocolate chips. These cookies are so yummy. There is a nice flavor mix with the zucchini & cinnamon. Marry that with the sweetness of chocolate & you have a winning combination. The cake-like texture pulls it all together. Serve these cookies with a big glass of cold milk & you won't be disappointed Here's the DL...
