My children love it when I bake so I figure I might as well try to make things that are at least somewhat nutritious. These cookies were a hit because they taste like muffins, but are in the shapes of cookies with chocolate chips in them, but have shredded zucchini, too. I love baking with zucchini because it makes things moist without adding extra fat and calories. Try these cookies, and when your kids ask what the green stuff is just causally say zucchini but you can't taste it because of ALL THE CHOCOLATE CHIPS (screaming voice)!

I love baking chocolate chip cookies, so why should the week of Passover be any different? I had to find a great chocolate chip cookie recipe that would also be Kosher for Passover. These cookies are so good my kids have already started eating them, and it isn't even Passover yet!
