Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

CHICKPEA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

(recipe via Marilyn)

Puree altogether in a food processor:.

1 can chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup peanut butter (unsalted)

a pinch of salt (unless you used salted peanut butter, then omit)

1/4 cup honey

1/2 tsp baking soda

Then stir in:

1/3 - 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (many have milk in them, so read the label)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional, but delicious)

Preheat oven to 350.

Dough will be very wet and sticky. Scoop and shape into balls. They won't rise much, so make them in the shape you want them in.

Bake 10 - 13 minutes at 350 until they look golden and cooked on the outside. The inside should still be soft and gooey.
