Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, increase salt to 3/4 teaspoon.
- Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work.
- Zucchini: I use the small hole on the box grater. I squeeze the zucchini and then measure it. The liquid with the shredded zucchini is great in zucchini bread, but it will make your cookies flat.
- All-purpose flour: It's important to properly measure the flour. To properly measure it, either weigh it or sift/stir it to break it up. Lightly spoon it into the measuring cup and level.
- Chocolate chips: I use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips will also work.
- Nuts: Pecans or walnuts work well. You can also omit the nuts.
