Servings: cookies
Equipment
- cookie scoop medium, about 1 ½ tablespoons
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas 15-ounce can, rinsed, drained and patted dry
- 1 cup flour all-purpose
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy, natural-style
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large food processor, add the chickpeas, flour, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, baking soda, and salt.
- Pulse a few times, then process until the mixture forms a smooth, thick dough with no visible chickpea pieces, scraping down the sides once or twice.
- Remove the blade and stir in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough (a medium cookie scoop works well) onto the prepared sheet, about 2 inches apart. The cookies won't spread much, so press them down gently if you'd like flatter cookies. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look set.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Chocolate chips: check the label, since many semi-sweet chips contain milk or butterfat. Enjoy Life, Pascha, Hu and Gefen make vegan chips.
Nut butter: almond or cashew butter work in place of peanut butter. Sunflower seed butter makes the cookies nut-free but can turn the centers slightly green (harmless).
Shaping: the dough doesn't spread much. For flatter cookies, press each scoop down gently with damp fingers before baking.
Storage: airtight at room temperature up to 2 days, in the fridge up to 5 days, or frozen up to 3 months.
