For those of you who are still holding fast to your New Years Resolution of losing weight, or eating healthier, WAY TO GO!! This one’s for you!! These delicious little treats are healthy and your kids will love them too – mine did!!

ZUCCHINI COOKIES

1 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup Applesauce (Hint: If you ever have a cookie recipe that calls for shortening, you can substitute applesauce instead to make it a little healthier)
1 Egg
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Oats
2 cups Flour
1 cup Grated Zucchini
1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Cream together the sugar, butter, applesauce and egg.  Then add the dry ingredients (baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, oats and flour). When they are combined add the zucchini and chocolate chips.

Spoon cookie dough onto a greased cookie sheet or baking mat. Space about 2 -3 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. When baked, allow to cool for a couple minutes on the tray and then place them on a cookie sheet to complete cooling. Eat when they are completely cool (you won’t taste the zucchini when it’s completely cooled). Makes approx. 4 dozen.

ENJOY!!
