Ingredients
1

(excess moisture squeezed out)
1
cup
all-purpose flour
1/2
teaspoon
baking soda
1/2
teaspoon
baking powder
1/4
teaspoon

1/2
cup
unsalted butter
(softened)
1/2
cup

(packed)
1/4
cup
granulated sugar
1

1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1
cup

1/2
cup

(optional)
1/2
teaspoon

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the grated zucchini, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a healthier option, you can substitute half of the butter with applesauce.
