Healthier version of chocolate chip cookies using chick peas (garbanzo beans) NOT calorie free!! Ingredients: 1 can (12-14oz) (so you have 1 1/4 cup) chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter 1/4 cup agave syrup 1 teaspoon baking powder** 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips ** If you need grain-free baking powder, you can use 1 part cream of tartar + 1 part baking soda + 2 parts arrowroot. 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. Very important to make sure chick peas are well processed- no chunks Put in the chocolate chips and stir it if you can, or pulse it once or twice. The mixture will be very thick and sticky. With wet hands, form into 1 1/2″ balls. Place onto a piece of parchment paper. 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 minutes. Yields about fourteen 1 1/2″ cookie dough balls.
