Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Don't like pecans? Swap them for toasted walnuts, or leave them out altogether.
  • Don't worry about squeezing the moisture from the zucchini - these cookies need that little bit of added moisture to bake and set properly.
  • This Zucchini Cookies with Chocolate and Pecans makes about 2 dozen cookies, but it's easy to double if you need more.
