Dark Chili Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (with Zucchini)


I was recently given a giant bag of zucchini from a friend and was not quite sure how to use it all before it went bad. I put it in dinner dishes and made Jaime’s delicious Zucchini Bread, but I still had quite a bit left over. After spending a few minutes rummaging through the cabinets I found a bar of chili chocolate, and thus the Dark Chili Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie was born.  As you can probably tell from the name, these are hearty little cookies that are bursting with flavor. The chili chocolate gives them a kick and the zucchini keeps them nice and moist. Ready to try them for yourself?
