Yields1 Serving
 15 oz chickpeas, well rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel (Eden’s brand is preferred due to quality…)
 1 tbsp vanilla extract
 ½ cup natural almond butter
 ¼ cup raw local honey (maple syrup, if vegan...)
 1 tsp baking powder
 pinch of salt
 ½ cup 70% or higher dark chocolate chips (use EnjoyLife brand, if vegan...)
1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with coconut or avocado oil cooking spray.

2

Mash the chickpeas – you can use a food processor, a blender or your hand and a fork… They don’t need to have a completely smooth consistency, but fewer the chunks, the better…

3

Combine all ingredients, except for chocolate chips and mix until smooth (you can use a food processor, a mixer or a spatula and mix by hand…) Make sure the chickpeas are well combined.

4

Put in the chocolate chips and stir in. The dough will be very thick and sticky.

5

With wet hands, form into balls approx. the size of a silver dollar. I like to use an small ice cream scoop for this…

6

Place onto prepared baking sheet. If you want them to be more like “normal” cookies – slightly press down on the dough to flatten – they will not rise too much.

7

Bake for 10-15 minutes. If serving immediately, allow to cool 5 minutes on the sheet pan and then serve. If storing for later, allow to cool 30 minutes and then place into an airtight container and then into the fridge.
