Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter , softened
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅓ cups chickpea flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix together the softened butter and sugar.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well, then add the chickpea flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until the batter looks uniform; it will be relatively thick and sticky. Warning: Do NOT taste the raw cookie dough because chickpea flour tastes terrible before it's cooked.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips, then scoop the batter using a tablespoon or 1-ounce cookie scoop. Drop the dough onto the lined pan, spacing the cookies about 1 to 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. You can sprinkle the cookie dough with some flaky sea salt, if you like a sweet and salty flavor.
  4. Bake at 350ºF for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies look lightly golden around the edges. Let the cookies cool on the pan completely, to let them firm up. They should be lightly crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside. (Let the bake longer, until they are more golden, if you prefer a crispier cookie.)
  5. Chickpea flour cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Nutrition is for 1 of 24 cookies. This information is automatically calculated, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
  • To make a vegan cookie, use vegan butter (I like Miyoko's brand) and a flax egg to replace the egg.
