Summer Squash Chocolate Cookies

This I got from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
An interesting book about Kingsolver's life for a year on her family farm. During the time the book was written in, the diet of Barbara and her family consited of only what they could grow or buy locally (with a very few exceptions). The cocoa powder in this recipe is my addition.

1 egg, beaten
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Combine in large bowl.

3/4 cup white flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg

Combine in a separate, small bowl and blend into liquid mixture
1 cup finely shredded zucchini
12 oz chocolate chips
Stir these into other ingredients, mix well. Drop by spoonful onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 350°, 10 to 15 minutes.
