BFFs (best food friends) chocolate and peanut butter look like the star ingredients of this recipe, but their understudy, a can of chickpeas, deserves applause. The mild flavour of the beans fades when baked, kissing these cookies with 3 grams of protein.
Ingredients
Canned drained chickpeas
15 oz, rinsed and drained
Packed brown sugar
½ cup(s)
Egg
1 large
Canola oil
3 tbsp(s)
Vanilla extract
2 tsp(s)
Powdered peanut butter
¾ cup(s)
Whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup(s)
Baking soda
½ tsp(s)
Table salt
¼ tsp(s)
Semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup(s)
Instructions
1
Arrange racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 large sheet pans with parchment paper.
2
In a food processor, pulse the chickpeas until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla and process until smooth.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered peanut butter, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the food processor and pulse until just blended, 6 to 8 times. Add the chocolate and pulse until just combined, 2 to 3 times.
4
Scoop 1 1⁄2 to 2 tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared pans, about 12 cookies per pan. (The dough will be sticky.) Using a spatula, flatten each cookie slightly. Bake until the cookies are set, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans after 7 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
