3 Types of Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients & Instructions - Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
 
1 1/4 cups or 1 can of chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
½ cup plant milk ( I used water in the video )
½  cup nut butter (with no added oil)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾  tsp baking soda
200 grams soft pitted Medjool dates (approx. 12)
Pinch of salt
¾ cup unsweetened chocolate chips
 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
 
Add the chickpeas, vanilla, plant milk, dates, and nut butter to a food processor and process until smooth.
 
Once ingredients are well combined and smooth, add baking soda and blend briefly, just till combined.
 
Stir in the chocolate chips.
 
Scoop out the dough about 2-3 tablespoons at a time. Flatten cookies to about 1/2 of an inch with the back of a spoon ( dip the spoon in water to prevent it from sticking). For a fudgier cookie don’t flatten them.
 
Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the tops are slightly golden. Let cool on the tray until just warm before moving to a cooling rack. 
 
**All of these cookies are better after they are 
COMPLETELY COOLED and even better refrigerated, in my opinion.
