Chickpea Choc Chip Cookies

[~Narelle~]

Question about this one - do you add the liquid from the can of chickpeas?

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

I wondered that too.  I always drain it and they seem fine.

Best to drain them or you'll have pancakes

I'd like to make these with GD on Friday so my question is - is it a teaspoonful you drop onto the baking sheet or bigger.  Heaped?

[Thermomixer]

How big do you want the cookies - dessertspoon size is good.

[judydawn]

Whatever you think is a fair thing Thermomixer.  I get totally confused making cookies.  I need to be told level or heaped spoon (teaspoon, dessertspoon, tablespoon) and almost how far to space them out Also how many they make.  I would be so pedantic as to do them all again if I ended up with 30 and there should have been 36.  I'm a Wally - yes I know. I also would like to know if they are a soft cookie or a crunchie cookie.  Am I asking too much

Judy if you are a Wally you are very precious-that was my Dad's name.

I'm not that good with my cookies. I just throw them onto the tray. If the recipe makes more or less I don't really worry. Very rich cookies I try to keep small but others, who cares?

[Very Happy Jan]

Mine came out a little soft, so the next day while I was baking cakes i just popped the biscuits back in the oven for a while and they were perfect.

You're not that good with your cookies Cookie1, you are the cookie queen You are obviously very confident just throwing them on - maybe I should stress out less and do the same.  I do like crunchy cookies though or biscuits as we know them to be here in Australia.  As you can see, I don't do them very often - not that I don't like making them, it is just the weight issue.

These are really nice, made 3 dozen or thereabouts - GD has eaten so many I'm not too sure how many there were there to start with. I cooked rounded dessertspoonsful for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they looked just right for nice  crunchy cookies - just how I like them. Thanks Amanda, good one.

I made these today - nice cookies and one cannot taste the chickpea!

[CreamPuff63]

I did reveal that these were good for you (apart from the el choco) and DS wants me to make them again. Thumbs up!

Nice work Gralke

Lovely photo thanks.

These look great.  I might give them a go with some egg replacer....or does anyone think they might work without egg (I've observed that lots of recipes can do okay without the egg).

I find I need specifics for biscuits too.  I do have the knowledge buried deep in me because when I see them cooking I think 'Mmmm that is 'that sort of biscuit! - too late'. 

Love all the tips.  Can't wait to apply chickpeas by stealth.
