Chickpea Choc Chip Cookies

[cathy79]

A single batch just came out of the oven, and is plenty!  Yummy, no one will know what's in them.

I grinded my chocolate instead of chocolate chips, pretty chunky, but powdery too, so distributes the chocolate nicely.  I guess that chickpea flour (besan flour) could be used instead of the tin too, as I've got that in the cupboard too.  Will try next time.

Just made these and they are yummo! I am not sure why you would think to put the chickpeas in but glad someone did! They are really good!

Thanks Amanda for posting this....these are really yummy!! The kids love them! Thanks also to Chelsea for the conversion for us "tippers and pourers". The chickpeas make them quite a satisfying and filling for a cookie too.

I've just made a batch of these and the girls love them.  I actaully used coconut palm sugar so they turned out a more golden brown type of colour.  I'll resort to anything to hide a few extra goodies in their food as it's health by stealth here.

These are my kids favourites at the moment. I have been adding the choc chips with the flour and letting them chop a little when i mix it all in. They seem to be liking the tiny choc chips spread more evenly through the biscuit than the regular chips. Happy to do that

I finally got around to making these today and they are great. I have been meaning to make these for awhile but the kids are usually hanging around wanting to see what I'm cooking and the minute I mention trying this they would turn their nose up. So today I got the opportunity to make them with no little eyes watching me. And they love them. Do I tell them what they are ? Or just keep it to myself?  Thanks for the great recipe.

Keep it to yourself lol

mwahahahahahaa!!!!!!!!!!!! Just made these.  DH was scoffing into the batter saying it was nice.  I smiled and said nothing. lol

He's had a couple of cookies now and I asked him if he wanted to know what was in them.

He said he didn't care as long as it wasn't zucchini. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

I laughed myself silly and confessed to the chickpeas.

LOLOL 

I ground about 70gr of organic dark chocolate down to near powder and added a dessertspoon of cacao as I didn't have enoug chocolate.  Tastes really nice.

We really like these on the day that they are baked, but I find they go really soft and not quite so appealing on the following days.  It's a shame because they make a large amount.

I made these today and when i went to get the chickpeas out of the cupboard there was none in there!! so i used a can of five bean mix and they are yummy. All the kids have eaten them eagerly and have no idea what they are eating. Will definately be making them again soon

Chelsea I leave mine in a warm oven to dry out until it has cooled totally that makes them quite crunchy  for days afterwards.

Made these today, sub'd a few things to make them dairy/egg free and almost failsafe lol.

So used nuttelex, egg replacer (need to add another couple of tablespoons of water, as the mix isn't wet enough), and grated up some dairy free choc (so amines), used about 150gms, was going to add some cocoa, but it didn't really need it.

Made about half the batch, have rolled the rest into a log and popped it into the freezer.

Ds whoofed them down like he hadn't eaten in a century, and dh even said they were 'not bad', which is pretty good considering he likes his stuff 'normal'

I made these late last night and they are yummy. Hoping that my boy likes them in his kindy lunch today Good way of hiding extra protein in his diet

Thanks for the recipe

[Nay-nay]

Wow! How'd I miss this!?? Def keeping these ingredients to myself. I used a tin of butter beans. Question: is the mix suppose to go into a bickie dough that you can handle or is it suppose to be a little more 'sloppy' mix that spoons out??

Thanks for that tip Meagan.  I will try them again soon.
