Always up for trying something new I decided today I would bake these cookies I found on Pinterest. These are grain free and super easy, and so tasty I am having a hard time not eating them all! Ive hear they are not good cold but considering I just made them I have no idea if this is true or not yet, but they are definitely yummy after cooling for 10-15 min.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons (165 grams) natural peanut butter
1/4 cup (80 grams) honey (commenters have used agave with success!)
1 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt if your peanut butter doesn't have salt in it
1/2 cup (90 grams) chocolate chips ( I used Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate mega chunks, they are dairy, nut and soy free)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they're combined. I moved the contents to a bowl and stirred in the chocolate chips. The mixture will be very thick and sticky. With wet hands, form into 1 1/2" balls. Place onto a Silpat or a piece of parchment paper ( I used wax paper since I was out of parchment). If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don't do much rising. Bake for about 10-12 minutes. Yields about twenty 1 1/2" cookie dough balls.Serving Size: Yields about twenty 1 1/2" cookie dough balls
Love and Enjoy!
