How To Make A Cookie That Will Satisfy Your Craving

Text: Chickpea chocolate chunk cookies with a photo of the cookie

Why I Love This Cookie Recipe


These chocolate chunk chickpea cookies are sure to satisfy your craving. My cookies contain 1 gram of fat and 1.7 grams of protein. Comparatively, a store-bought cookie has a fifth of the protein and double the fat! Did I mention you can also eat the raw cookie dough? That's right - no eggs here, and that means you can eat the dough without having to bake.


In addition, these cookies can be customized, keep reading to learn my favorite ways to customize. Furthermore, you can pair these cookies with my chocolate sauce for an added indulgence.



Satisfy Your Craving And Add More Ingredients


When I make these cookies, they don't last long! Being that these are healthier than regular cookies, everyone wants to give them a try. In my last batch, I experimented with additional add-ins and found the below to work great. I've also included a list of things I think would be great to add as well.
