I modified the recipe to make it a bit healthier, adding half applesauce instead of butter, adding wheat bran and flaxseed. But even as written I think these would be fabulous cookies. They are not at all green. And as other suggested use 1 c chocolate chips instead of 2. I used 2 and it was way too many. They do not spread out as all as they cook either, but 12 minutes is exactly the time they need to cook.

Really good cookies after a few adjustments. I wanted something healthy with some substance. I tweaked it slightly by using whole wheat, which gave it density. I used raisin bran cereal because I forgot to buy granola! I used raisins, added an additional 1/2 cup or so after the raisin bran. My sugar was 1/4 cup of sugar substitute and 1/2 white sugar. The cookies are really good!

I had a friend give me some zucchini that I was looking to do something different with. Had a brunch to bring a dish to pass, but no time to make actual cookies. Doubled the recipe, added a few more shakes of cinnamon, and put it into 2 9 x 13 pans. Used regular oatmeal and vanilla granola from Trader Joes. Baked at 350 for close to an hour - started checking around 45 minutes. Turned out awesome. Somewhere between a cookie and bread, and very tasty. Not too sweet like a regular cookie Would definitely make again.

I won't try this again, sorry! I loved the idea of zucchini and oatmeal in the kids cookies for thier kindergarten party but the cookies were very bland. The only change that I made was to add salt.

I was disappointed with these, because they were not GREEN. They also were cakey. I only used 1 cup of chocolate chips instead of 2, and they had plenty. DON'T USE 2 CUPS of CHOCOLATE CHIPS

I made this recipe last year, and I'm making them again this year. Mine turned out really green. It was great. (I didn't add food coloring.) The trick was that I had bought too much zucchini so I was able to just use the skins mainly. (I used the rest of the zucchini another day.) The only down side was after a few days they got a little rubbery in texture but still tasted great.

This is a very good cookie.There were bits of green throughout. I took one reviewer's suggestion and added a little freshly grated nutmeg.The cookies were not so sweet and you could really appreciate the subtle spice.I doubled the batch so I got a little over 4 dozen.But I was only able to take 3 dozen to our bake sale for my husband could'nt stop"testing" them.

These were good but I think they needed some salt mixed in with the flour to make the flavor pop. I added nutmeg and cloves and didn't have any granola so I just substituted more oatmeal. I like the texture of this cookie. Will definitely make again.

I found the cookies tasted okay but the batter didn't drop well. I used a scoop and the cookies didn't flatten at all and kept the original half circle shape. Not a keeper but not horrible.

Very cake like but really awesome. I used Sugar in the raw and half apple sauce half butter and since some reviews said it wasn't sweet enough i added a teaspoon of honey and a packet of stevia and i halved the chocolate chips and that was still a good amount i also used whole wheat flour and wheat bran and flax seeds!! they were awsome!

Great cookies. I didn't have any granola, so I crumbled about four granola bars (about 1 cup worth) and the substitution worked out just fine. We will definitely make these again!

I changed this up a little: 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 cups grated zucchini, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 cup quick cooking oats, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. My Husband and kids loved them! Next time I'll double it, since 1 batch only gave me 27 cookies.

These cookies were great! I made a few alterations, but they are still delicious: I used 2 c. of oatmeal instead of one c. oatmeal and one c. granola, and I added 2 to 2 and 1/4 c. of zucchini. I also used organic semi-sweet chocolate, so the chocolate isn't as sweet. I'd recommend cooking the full 12 minutes, otherwise the cookies tend to be a bit crumbly. These are also on the less-sweet side, which is a nice change, and have more of a cake-like texture. Very delicious!

Give this one 3 stars because mine didn't turn out "green" really but they were good chocolate chip cookies. The zucchini added a little extra nutrition and moisture to the cookies

These are pretty good little cookies. I was able to sneak the zucchini past a very picky three old which is always a plus. I took the advice of other reviewers and reduced the amount of chocolate chips to 1.5. Frankly, my family must have an unusually strong sweet tooth because we probably would have been happy with the 2 cups.
