Gluten Free Double Chocolate Zucchini Cookies

If you have extra zucchini these gluten-free double chocolate zucchini cookies are a great way to use it up! 

The last few weeks I have had a lot of zucchini coming from my garden. This means I have been creative in the ways I use up my zucchini. And this means my family never knows where I sneak it in.

I was recently searching online for ways to use zucchini and came across a chocolate zucchini cookie recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod and knew I had to adapt it to be gluten free. I love Two Peas and Their Pod, especially their cookie recipes, so I knew they would be good.

It took a little bit to get the right gluten free flours for these, but when I did, they turned out great. These are so good you will want to double this recipe.

We ate these up in no time. Then I made a triple batch to take to a church dinner and everyone loved them. Yes, I took gluten free zucchini cookies to a potluck dinner and everyone loved them. Really you need to try these.
