Add 1 egg and vanilla. Add 2 c shredded zucchini. Add 1 1/2 c flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, and dash of salt (all combined). Add 1 c oats. Add chocolate chips/chunks. Bake at 350 for about 13 minutes. the original recipe called for 1 c granola, but I use oatmeal instead (and throw in the brown sugar). My husband likes these more than any other cookie I've ever made. Great way to use up all of the zucchini I've got too! I do admit to eating more than I should, using the justification that they have oatmeal AND a vegetable in them. I’ve been making these cookies pretty much non-stop this summer:
