Fudge-y Zucchini WADS (oatmeal cookies)


After much experimenting with recipes involving hiding veggies in kids' foods, I have come up with a new variation of our Secret Family WADS recipe, here it is....
 
  
 Fudgy Zucchini WADS Recipe

1-1/2 C brown sugar
1 C oil
1 tsp. vanilla 
2 eggs
1/2 C pureed zucchini (for directions on how to purée veggies, see this excellent book by Jessica Seinfeld entitled Deceptively Delicious....http://www.amazon.com/Deceptively-Delicious-Simple-Secrets-Eating/dp/006176793X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342549580&sr=8-1&keywords=Jessica+Seinfeld 

Mix the above wet ingredients together.  In a separate large bowl, sift together the following dry ingredients:

1 C flour (I use 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 white whole wheat flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 C baking cocoa

Combine wet and dry ingredients in large bowl, mixing well.  Gradually add:

5 C oats
1 C chocolate chips

Stir well.  Mixture will be lumpy.
Drop in teaspoon-size wads on ungreased baking sheet, slightly flatten.
Bake in 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes.  
Enjoy!!!!!!!
