Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1.5 C chickpeas (soaked, cooked)

• 1/2 C leftover pulp from dairy free milk (opt)

• 1/2 C vegan chocolate chips

• 1/3 C maple syrup

• 4 TBSP nut/seed butter

• 2 TSP vanilla extract

• 1 TSP coconut oil (opt)

• 1 TSP baking powder

• 1/4 TSP each of any fav spices (cardamom, cinnamon, etc.)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350F

• Smudge choice of oil on a baking sheet

• Blend all the ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor

• Fold in chocolate chips

• Roll mixture into little circles, spacing out on the baking sheet

• Flatten with a fork

• Bake for 8-10min

• Let cool

Notes:

The mixture will be very wet. Keep a bowl of warm water beside you and wet your hands each time you make a circle. Do the same when flattening with the fork; wetting after each cookie. The cookies will be very soft when coming out of the oven, they will harden as they cool. Feel free to use a different nut/seed butter and experiment with different spices and herbs.
