Paleo Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Cookies without flour, butter, and salt added? You've got it! Also a sneaky way to give your kid some beans without him knowing! Ha!

Paleo Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients


1¼ cups canned chickpeas, well-rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel

2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup + 2 tbsp peanut butter (sun butter or almond butter would work as well!)
¼ cup honey (agave or maple syrup would also work!)
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips (or extra if you're a chocolate freak like me haha!)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees. Blend chickpeas, vanilla, peanut butter, honey, and baking powder in food processor. 



2. Stir in chocolate chips. 



3. Drop 1 1/2" balls on cookie sheet. Baking for 10 minutes. They will not do alot of rising, if you want them to have a more "cookie" like shape simply press down the ball a little before baking. 


4. Enjoy with a big glass of milk!

A few notes:

**I used regular peanut butter with mine and they were still a little doughy. Since there is no raw egg we just ate them like that because it tasted like raw cookie dough! :) But if you want it a little less doughy and a little less oily, use natural peanut butter!
**Since we enjoyed them doughy, I'm going to make then a little smaller and coat them in melted dark chocolate next time! It will be a little truffle like treat!
