Double Chocolate Chickpea Cookies

June 3, 2020 by Alyssa Fusco 6 Comments

These Double Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies are some of the best cookies I’ve ever made and eaten. They’re incredibly easy and pretty dang healthy considering the main ingredient is CHICKPEA. I first made these cookies in college. I still remember making my parents try them before they knew what was in them. Once I confirmed that they thought they were good, I told them and they could not believe it!

This recipe is pretty old. It was first published back in 2014! I recently decided that it deserved a new blog write up and a fresh set of pictures. In order to do that, I had to re-make these Double Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies. My husband got to try them for the first time and again, before telling him what was in them… I had him eat one! His first impressions was “wow”. Once I told him what was in them he straight up didn’t believe me. I’m not kidding! He told me I was lying and I had to show him the empty can of chickpeas for him to finally believe me. Honestly, he couldn’t shut up about them for the rest of the week! Since we ate them all, he’s been asking that I make them again!

I can’t see anywhere how big a can of chickpeas to use. The 28 oz or 14 oz?
