CHOCOLATE CHICKPEA COOKIES

These cookies went like hot cakes at our house.....everyone loved them.  All our friends who tried them asked what nut we had put in them.  Once the cookie is cooled, it really does taste like there are nuts in the cookies.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

 
Chocolate Chickpea Cookies
 Made 54 Cookies
3 PP each or 2 cookies for 5 PP

  • 1 C. Brown Sugar, packed
  • 3/4 C. Light Butter
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 2 t. Vanilla Extract
  • 15.5 oz. Chickpeas/Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 11.5 oz bag of Milk Chocolate Chips
  • 1 C. All Purpose Flour
  • 1 C. Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 C. Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 t. Baking Soda
  • 1/4 t. Salt


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Make sure to spray the cookie sheets.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until smooth.  Then beat in the egg whites, vanilla, and then the chickpeas and the chocolate chips.  Add the whole wheat flour, white flour, old fashioned oats, baking soda, and the salt.  Mix until you get a thicker dough.


Use the small Pampered Chef cookie scoop, or equivalent to put on the cookie sheets.  Then press and flatten a little with a fork.  Bake until the cookies are golden brown and just set.  About 13 minutes.....and do not overbake!


Transfer to a rack to cool and enjoy!
