Servings 16 cookies
Calories 120cal
Ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 cup cashew butter (almond butter or peanut butter also work)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, dairy free if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Combine all cookie dough ingredients — EXCEPT for chocolate chips — in a bowl and mix well. I used a magic bullet but wouldn’t be surprised if a high powered blender is also effective. I’ve also tried using a hand-held blender and have to say that’s probably my favorite method.
- Once no whole chickpeas remain, add chocolate chips and stir to combine. Scoop 1 inch thick balls onto prepared baking pan. Before placing in the oven, use the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten the cookies because they will not flatten on their own.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chocolate chips are melting. Remove from oven and let cool.
Notes
To make nut free: Feel free to use sunflower seed butter or tahini. Please know that if you use sunflower seed butter, your cookies may turn green the next day after baking due to a chemical reaction. Don't worry, they'll still be fine to eat.
