Ingredients<br>Component Quantity Amount<br>Flour 250g<br>Baking powder 1tsp<br>Baking soda 1tsp<br>Salt 1\/2tsp<br>Butter (melted, but not hot) 115g<br>Crystal sugar 100g<br>Brown sugar (or extra granulated sugar) 50g<br>Egg 1pc<br>Pumpkin puree 120g Homemade or canned puree.<br>Grated zucchini 120g Wrung out thoroughly!<br>Spice mix (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg) 2 tsp<br>Chocolate chips 150g Dark or milk chocolate.<br>II. Preparation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preparation (Managing Moisture)<br>Wringing out zucchini: Grate the zucchini, place in a strainer or clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out any excess water! This is critical, otherwise the cookies will not bake through.<br>Preheat: Preheat oven to 180\u00b0C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mixing the Dough<br>Wet Bases: Mix the melted butter with the granulated and brown sugar. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and spice mix. Mix well.<br>Dry Bases: In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mixing: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet base until combined. Do not overmix!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finishing: Fold in the well-drained zucchini and chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baking<br>Dosing: Using a spoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the baking sheet. The cookies will not spread out too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baking: Bake for approx. 12-15 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooling: Let the cookies cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will give them their soft, cakey texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What other vegetable dessert recipes would you be interested in (e.g. carrot cake)?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cookie is the perfect combination of autumn-winter flavors!
