These were excellcent! They have a nice touch of honey and you can not taste the zucchini, which is great for picky kids. Word of advice, shred the zucchini very fine. My son spotted it and won't eat them now, but I love them, so more for me! I also used a cup of the mini chocolate chops, that was plenty.

This is a great recipe. I needed to use some zucchini. When I saw Averybirl photo on the All you can cook buffet, I knew I had to do them today. I didn't reduce the amount of brown sugar. But I omitted honey. I used only all purpose flour. I used more cinnamon and omitted nutmeg. I baked them 15 minutes. The cookies have a really good taste. Thanks mommaj :) Made for All you can cook buffet

I have been making these zucchini chip cookies since last summer when I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. They are a hit at our house! I always cut the sugar by half as they don't need any more (to 1/4c brown sugar, 3 Tbsp honey). I also like to double the size to get about 12 BIG cookies and just bake for them for longer. Thanks for posting this tasty cookie recipe, mommaj! [Made for The All You Can Cook Buffet special]

These were good, but it's something I think only I would like (like my picky eater friends would probably not go for them). The zucchini gives it a kind of "fresh" flavor that really doesn't fit with my conception of cookies - not that it's bad - just kind of different. I used margarine instead of butter, as well, so mine probably weren't as rich as the posters.
