* Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies *

Are you sick of all the zucchini recipes yet? Sorry about that...you can tell we have a lot of zucchini, right? There might be a few more coming...I apologize in advance. This recipe came from here and it's pretty good! The recipe doesn't have any salt in it and I kind of think it could've used it but I had no idea how much to add so if you have any suggestions, I would love them!

* Zucchini Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies *
1/2 C. butter
3/4 C. white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (About 1 1/2 zucchini's, oddly)
1 1/2 C. flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 C. quick cooking oats
1 -1.5 C. semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350* F.

In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Stir in the egg and vanilla, mix well, then stir in the shredded zucchini. Sift together the flour, baking soda and cinnamon, stir into the zucchini mixture. Finally, stir in the oats and chocolate chips.

Drop dough from a teaspoon onto an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for about 11 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies will stay soft and moist because of the zucchini.
