Instructions

Drain the chickpeas in a colander, rinse thoroughly, and let them drain. Halve and pit the date.

Place chickpeas, dates, honey, nut butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt into a food processor and blend until a homogeneous, lump-free, cookie dough-like texture is achieved.

Fold in the chocolate chips, transfer the cookie dough to a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for at least 30 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chickpea Texture Magic 🧊
Thoroughly drain and pat dry chickpeas before blending to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency without excess moisture.
Date Sweetness Hack 🍯
Soak Medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes before blending to create a more uniform, silky sweetener that integrates perfectly into the cookie dough.
Nut Butter Selection Pro 🥜
Choose a neutral-flavored nut butter like cashew or almond to maintain the classic cookie dough taste without overwhelming other ingredients.
Chill for Perfect Texture 🌡️
Refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and achieve a firmer, more authentic cookie dough consistency.
Chocolate Chip Distribution 🍫
Fold chocolate chips in gently at the end and reserve a few to sprinkle on top for a visually appealing and evenly distributed chocolatey treat.
