Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pat the chickpeas very dry with paper towels.
3. Add the chickpeas, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to a food processor.
4. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thick, scraping down the sides as needed.
5. Transfer the dough to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart.
7. Gently flatten each cookie slightly and press a few extra chocolate chips on top.
8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are set and the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
Notes
Dry the chickpeas very well so the dough stays thick and the cookies bake up properly.
Do not overbake or the cookies can lose their soft and chewy center.
For the best texture, let the cookies cool before serving so they can fully set.
