ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I love using zucchini in the summertime. This recipe reminds me of a zucchini bread my aunt makes, but I wanted to make cookies for a family get-together because they would be easier to grab and eat. These taste better if you make them the day before. -Melissa Obernesser, Oriskany, New York
