Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter Can substitute with sunflower butter for nut allergies.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar Adjust based on sweetness preference.
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with peanut butter or almond butter. Process until smooth.
  2. To the chickpea mixture, add brown sugar, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula.
  4. Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with your palm.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to two months. To reheat, microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
