Chickpeas Cookies

 


Deliciously nutty and sweet but not really like regular chocolate chip cookies. After all there is no sugar involved. 


what you need:

  • 400gr / 15oz can chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips


what to do:

- Preheat oven to 175C / 350 F and line 2 cookie sheets with baking paper 

- Place chickpeas in a food processor and pulse for about 15 seconds or until they are a thick paste.

- Add the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips. Process for at least one minute until the mixture is smooth.

- Add chocolate chip and pulse a few times to mix.

- Make balls with about 1 to 2 tbsp dough and form the cookies.

- Press the cookies with a fork.

- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes and let them cool on a rack for at least 30 min.
