Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who loves chocolate chip cookies? 

Come on fess up!! 

I know I'm not the only health nut who has a secret love for these babies!! 

So I have created a pretty dang good recipe that's is clean (minus the chocolate chips)  to enjoy when you are wanting a sweet treat! 

What you will need : 

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 cans) chickpeas, well drained and dried with a paper towel 

1/2 cup and 2 tsp natural peanut butter 

2 tsp vanilla extract 

1/4 cup raw honey

1 tsp baking powder 

Pinch of salt 

1/2 cup chocolate chips 

Preheat oven at 350

Directions :

Add all ingredient, except chocolate chips to food processor. Blend until smooth. 

Fold chocolate chips into dough 

Then create round balls, about 1 inch, with the dough (you will need to flatten a little if you want them to look like traditional cookies), place cookies on cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. 

Let cool and enjoy!! Without the guilt ;)
