I have played around with several chickpea cookie and chickpea bar recipes over the years and have never been completely happy with the results. However, after years of experimentation I am happy to report that these chocolate chickpea cookies are absolutely delicious! Soft and chewy, with a subtle sweetness, the texture is incredible and you would never know they were entirely grain free and made from a legume!

Ingredients
1540ml can
Low Sodium Chickpeas
1/2cup
Natural Peanut Butter
1/3cup
Maple Syrup
1/2tsp
Baking Soda
1/2tsp
Baking Powder
1/4tsp
Sea Salt
1/2cup
Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Add all ingredients except for chocolate chips to a food processor and mix until smooth. Blend for 1-2 minutes. You want the dough to be completely smooth, similar to the texture of hummus.
3
Chill the mixture for 5-10 minutes in the fridge before stirring in the chocolate chips. Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between cookies. The dough will be quite firm, so press gently with a wet fork (to prevent sticking) to flatten the balls into a cookie shape.
4
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are brown at the edges. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving and enjoy!
