Ingredients
- 1.5 cups chickpeas cooked or canned, approx. 15-ounce can drained + rinsed
- ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ⅓ cup almond butter or another nut butter of your choice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 50 grams almond flour approx. ½ cup spooned + levelled
- 25 grams raw unsweetened cocoa powder approx. ¼ cup spooned + levelled
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips plus a few more to press into each cookie if you'd like
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉/176℃ and line a large baking sheet or two smaller ones with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients, except the chocolate chips to your food processor. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Then add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times to mix them in.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop the chickpea cookie dough onto your baking tray. You will get around 28 cookies. Then, press a few chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie if you'd like. Shape your cookies and gently press them down as they won't spread much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, or until they are slightly firm to the touch and the edges and bottoms are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool for at least 10 minutes before handling.

Notes
- Keep the cookies at room temperature for 2-3 days, refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Weigh your flour for the best results. Scooping into a measuring cup can compact the flour and you may end up with more than needed.
