Chickpea Cookies with Chocolate and Coconut

Watch the video

 

These chickpea cookies are very thin, delicate, brittle, and absolutely delicious.

The reason I baked them so thin was primarily to create smaller cookies with fewer calories per unit.

Either way, cookies are cookies, and you should enjoy them whenever you want a sweet and indulgent treat 🙂

Before you ask – yes, you can taste the chickpea flour.

However, the combination of maple syrup, chocolate, and a pinch of salt does a great job of balancing and masking the flavors.

If you eat legumes, these cookies are also Kosher for Passover. If not, you can replace the chickpea flour with the same amount of almond flour.

A bit about the recipe:

• As mentioned, the recipe is based on chickpea flour, and its taste is present. If you prefer not to use chickpea flour:
• You can use the same amount of almond flour, lentil flour, or any other flour you like.
• If you want to replace the coconut oil, you can use vegan butter/margarine (it's not healthier, but it's an option).
• You can sweeten them with maple syrup as I did, or any other sweetener like silan (date syrup), sugar, agave, etc.
