Now onto these yummies...
I call these Tinkerbell Cookies because of the 'magical green' secret ingredient I add to them.

My kids can't get enough of them, and eat them faster than any other cookie I have ever made them. They are almost cake like, and they stay soft and chewy for days.
So you can trick your kids like I do and tell them they are Tinkerbell Cookies, or just be straight and call them Zucchini cookies...but why, when getting away with a secret like this is just too much fun!
Ingredients:
- 2 beaten eggs (don't beat your children though, just the eggs).
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 T vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups pureed zucchini (this leaves no trace of the zucchini, and the kids are none the wiser)
- 1 bag chocolate chips
Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350
- Put your zucchini in food processor until it is baby food texture, it takes about 2 medium zucchini to make 2 cups
- Cream together eggs, butter and brown sugar-then add the honey and the vanilla
- In a separate bowl mix the flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon
- Add the dry ingredients slowly to the wet mixture and mix well.
- Add in the zucchini and mix well
- Add in the chocolate chips
- Scoop dough into about 1-2 inch balls (using a cookie dough scoop is easiest) and put on parchment paper or greased cookie sheet
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are slightly brown
Oh my goodness! What a fabulous way to use up that squash that we all usually have in abundance this time of year.
