00:00Dark chocolate chip zucchini cookies? Why not?
00:03Shredded zucchini not only adds some fiber to these cookies, but it also keeps them moist.
00:08Growing up, my mom always grew so many fruits and vegetables in our garden, and we always had too many giant zucchinis.
00:14So she would shred up some of the extra zucchini and mix it into our cakes, muffins, breads, and cookies.
00:20Zucchini is such a mild flavor that holds water well, so it's perfect for adding some extra fiber and moisture to your baked goods.
00:27Ooh, see, they're nice and soft. They're almost cake-like.
00:32Crispy on the outside, soft in the center. These are perfect.
