Nut Butter Chickpea Cookies

INGREDIENTS

1 can of chickpeas
1/3 cup of all natural nut butter (I used chocolate NuttZo) http://gonuttzo.com/products/
1/8 cup of agave nectar (substitute with honey or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Pinch of cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Drain and rinse canned chickpeas
2. Try to remove the clear outer shield layer of the chickpeas (this will allow for a nice chewy cookie)
3. Place chickpeas and nut butter in a food processor and blend until smooth (Honestly you could eat this as cookie dough at this point and it is absolutely to die for)
4. Add agave, vanilla, cinnamon and baking powder and continue blending
5. Place dough on baking sheet (it will be very sticky so try placing water on hands to roll dough
6. Bake cookies for about 12 minutes on 350 degrees

NOTES

Feel free to add anything to the dough, some ideas may include:

• Chocolate chips
• Cranberries
• Walnuts
• Almonds
