Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (You can also make bars instead of cookies by baking the batter in an 8x8 baking dish for about 30 minutes.)
Combine all ingredients except squash and optional chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir together until very thoroughly combined.
Place grated squash between paper towels and squeeze out excess water. Fold into batter with chocolate chips, if using. The batter will be very moist and not cookie-like.
Drop dough onto baking sheet (about two tablespoons of dough per cookie for 12 cookies total).
Bake for 15-17 minutes. Cool on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes and then transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.
