1-Ready to bake some soft chewy zucchini chip cookies? Start by setting up your kitchen for success – it’s easier than you think. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to avoid any sticking mess.

2-In a bowl with an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, which takes about 3-5 minutes. Scrape the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing. This step is key for that fluffy dough.

3-Next, beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and squeezed zucchini, scraping the bowl after each add-in for smooth results. Then, add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, mixing until almost combined before stirring in the chocolate chips and walnuts if you’re using them.

4-Portion the dough into rounds and place them about 4 inches apart on your prepared sheet pan. Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges turn golden and the tops set but aren’t browned. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
