Cookie Crazy

I have had a lot of zucchini this summer from our CSA share – I used some recently to make one of my favorite cookie recipes – Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies – from Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.  If you haven’t read it – I highly recommend it.  One of my faves. 

I brought a container of these to the office and they were gone by 3 pm.  A success if I say so.

These are very cakey cookies – so if you prefer crunchy cookies, I do not recommend them.  You cannot even taste the zucchini – at all. 

My second batch of cookies I made this summer was Anne’s recipe for Whole Grain Chocolate Chip Cookies 

I ground up the oatmeal as she recommended and followed the recipe.  The batter made me quite skeptical – it tasted A LOT like olive oil.  Who wants olive oil tasting cookies.  Not me. 

These were definitely wheaty.  Warm they were delicious – when they cooled they were a little too crunchy for my taste.  Oddly enough, they tasted almost like a sugar cookie with chocolate chips.
