Martian Cookies

“We had a cooking class at Children's Hospital in Orange, CA. These were a favorite for the patients and adults. You should have been there to smell the wonderful scent of cookies right out of the oven and see the children's faces!!! I think these are called martian cookies because of the green flecks, and they are out of this world!!”

I was looking for a base chocolate chip cookie recipe to modify and this caught my eye because I had a bunch of frozen zucchini in my freezer. I heavily modified this recipe (used coconut oil instead of butter, sugar-free chocolate chips, half splenda, half maltitol) and it still turned out great!

I made this recipe with only one substitution. I didn't have any butter so I used canola oil and they were excellent! Will definitely make again. Did have to cook them for 17 minutes, I did make fairly large cookies. 9 per sheet.

Really good! I made a double batch and used whole wheat flour, doubled the cinnamon and used yellow squash (that's what I had!) in place of zucchini. Awesome. :) Froze the extra in sandwich baggies for school lunches.

Delicious! Great way to get your family eating more veggies :) I did replace the white sugar with brown and reduced the amount of sugar down to 1/2 cup.Butterscotch chips were delicious with the chocolate and zucchini, plus the oatmeal gave the cookies another health kick plus were nice and moist. Will definetly make again! Highly recommend.

These are really, really good! Made them tonight for Back to School night tomorrow. I left out the nuts since our school is nut free. I'm going to make these again! Another great recipe to help me use up my zucchini from my garden.

I made these for a work potluck and they were the biggest hit out of the office dishes. I used the specs as described in the recipe; they weren't pretty but they were tasty! They disappeared, and I still get comments about them. I will make these for events in the future :)

These cookies are so moist and delicious and very forgiving. I didn't have any semi sweet chips so I added white chocolate and used almonds as I didn't have walnuts or pecans. Added some coconut, too!I am sure they would taste even better with the semi sweet chips and will use those next time. I felt like they were a little healthy to eat,and got to use up some of my zucchini too! Thanks for sharing,Thea!

These are terrific!! I'm over-run with zucchini and getting sick of making bread with it. All of the family loved these. Only thing I changed was to leave out the butterschotch chips as I did not have any. Didn't miss them. Thanks for posting.

AMAZING!!!! I didn't have high expectations when I made these...WOW was I wrong! I only made one slight modification and that was to add 4 teaspoons of cocoa powder. These are incredible cookies and I can't wait to make more! A new FAVORITE in our house.

These are REALLY good! I was leary about the zucchini, but WOW! Super delicious! My youngest is extremely picky and I am always looking for ways to slip him some veggies. He gobbled these up! I followed the recipe exactly except that I didn't have walnuts OR pecans, so I used some chopped almonds (salad topper.)
