Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Zucchini Cookies Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two baking sheets a light greasing to ensure your cookies slide off easily later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter-flavored shortening, white sugar, and brown sugar.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a delightful base for your cookies.
Step 4
Next, crack in an egg and pour in some vanilla extract, then beat everything together until it’s fully mixed and fragrant.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 7
Now comes the fun part—fold in the grated zucchini! This secret ingredient adds moisture and a subtle sweetness, so make sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 8
Using a spoon, drop rounded dollops of the cookie batter onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and just starting to look golden.
Step 10
Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
Step 11
This step is crucial as it helps them firm up a bit.
Step 12
After that, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
