Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Use maple syrup for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Use dairy-free chips for a vegan option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Blend until smooth.
  3. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes until slightly golden on the edges.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. Before baking, sprinkle a little sea salt on top for enhanced flavor.
