The title kind of throws you for a loop doesn’t it? I first had my encounter with a chocolate chip chickpea cookie during our bake sale fundraiser for our dietetics association. I have thought about that cookie ever since. Usually it is very difficult to convince the average student to try an alternative version of a baked good they know and love. People came back for seconds and within the hour, they were the first thing to sell out. These cookies were the perfect balance of savory and sweet with the added bonus of the mindset that you were getting a little protein too.
Below is a version of the recipe and I highly recommend it!
Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup light margarine
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cookie sheet with baking spray.
Beat sugar and margarine until smooth.
Beat in egg whites and vanilla, then add chickpeas and chocolate chips. Add flour, oats, baking soda and salt.
Drop by tablespoonful onto baking sheet.
Bake 11 to 13 min, until golden brown.
