It may not be your usual dessert combo, but these chocolate-and-veggie treats are remarkably tasty (and good for you, too!). The cookies are made sans oil or butter, but come together thanks to seasonal zucchini, a touch of applesauce and maple syrup. Add a dash of cinnamon and cloves, a sprinkle of chocolate chips, and you\u2019ve got the perfect autumn indulgence.<\/p>\n
