    Process or blend the ingredients until they are completely smooth. Then stop food processor or blender. Scrape sides and process again to make sure there are no chunks of chickpeas left over. The cookie dough should resemble hummus in consistency.

  • Step 4

    With wet hands, form batter into 1 ½ inch balls and place the balls of dough onto parchment paper. If you would like the cookies to resemble “normal cookies,” flatten the balls of dough with the back of a wet spoon. Because the base for the dough is chickpeas, these cookies don’t rise much when baked.
    #SpoonTip: you can use aluminum foil as a substitute for parchment paper.
