Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until it browns and becomes fragrant (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a large bowl and let cool.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together.
Mix the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the cooled brown butter until well integrated. Add in the egg and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Fold in the shredded zucchini.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the oats and chocolate chips without overmixing.
Using a cookie scoop, place dough portions on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers remain soft.
Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt after baking. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out the excess liquid from the zucchini to prevent the cookies from becoming too wet.
Feel free to add nuts or different chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
