How to cook deliciously - Zucchini Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the shredded zucchini on a towel, and wrap it up to remove excess liquid (there's more than you may think!). Then, cream the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves; gradually add to the creamed mixture, beating to combine. Stir in the zucchini, nuts and chocolate chips. Editor's Tip: It's important to add one egg at a time when baking because it ensures that the eggs mix evenly into the butter. It incorporates more air into the batter, helping to create the desired light, fluffy and creamy mixture.

2. Stage

Drop tablespoons of the cookie dough 3 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Editor's Tip: When baking cookies, you typically want to arrange the cookies at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. It promotes even baking and prevents the cookies from spreading into each other. It's worth it to use more than one baking sheet so you can properly space the cookies out, and simply bake them off in batches.

3. Stage

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until they're lightly browned. Transfer them to wire racks to let cool.
