Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies

When I want a cookie with a little extra something, I turn to these chickpea chocolate chip cookies. Ready in just 20 minutes, they’re soft in the middle, crisp on the edges, and have a subtle nutty flavor that sets them apart from the standard recipe. Thanks to chickpea flour, they’re gluten-free and protein-packed, which makes me feel better about reaching for an extra one (or two).

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together, then beat in the egg and vanilla until combined and lightened in color.
  • Pour dry ingredients into the wet and mix until everything is combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop cookie dough into medium-sized balls and place on prepared baking tray, making sure to leave some space in between the cookies. Optionally, you can press some extra chocolate chips into the tops of your cookie dough balls.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, until the cookies are done in the middle and the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and quickly use a round glass or biscuit cutter to scoop them back into a round shape while they’re still warm, then optionally garnish the cookies with some flaky salt.
  • Wait until mostly cooled before removing the cookies from the tray and enjoying.

Notes

  • Mix-In Ideas: Swap the chocolate chips with white chocolate, butterscotch, or toffee bits. Try dried cranberries, raisins, coconut flakes, or chopped nuts for extra texture.
