There is no easy or short name for these little nuggets of deliciousness. If you love chocolate chip cookies, and the dough you will LOVE this little gem of a recipe. Again, its super healthy and full of protein. I couldn’t believe the secret ingredient that makes these so good. CHICKPEAS!!! Who would have ever known chickpeas could be used to make cookie dough?
The other thing I loved so much about this recipe is that is was SOOOOO EASY. People always complain that being healthy is so much work. I can confidently say that these were one of the easiest cookie recipes I’ve ever made and WAY easier than regular chocolate chip cookies too.
I hope you loves them as much as we did! Oh ya and the kids… 100% approved, Coco ate 4 and reminded me with each one she doesn’t like chickpeas hahahaha WIN WIN!!!
