Maple chickpea cookies (vegan & gluten free)

Here’s the kind of cookie you can enjoy without feeling guilty.  It’s a great mid-day snack as it contains a considerable amount of protein and fiber, plus it's lightly sweetened and relatively low in fat. 

• Preheat oven at 350⁰ F
• In a big bowl  add 1 can of blended chic peas with its juice
• Add 50 ml of canola and sun flower oil blend
• Add 100-*200 ml of pure maple syrup
• Add 2 pinches of magic baking powder
• Add 2 pinches of baking soda
• Add 1 pinch of sea salt
• Whisk well
• Mix in 500 ml of gluten free baking & pancake flour mix (my favorite brand is Pamelas)
• Mix in 200 ml of garbanzo chic pea flour
• Knead if needed and *add a little bit more maple syrup for optimal consistency to make little balls with the dough (it will depend on flour mixture)
• Mix in 250g of dark chocolate chips
• Oil cookie sheet of approximately 18” x 12”
• Drop cookie paste on cookie sheet with an over filled table spoon (about 15-24 cookies per sheet and 45-60 cookies in total)
• Using a wetted fork, gently press the cookie dough down
• On a plate mix half and half oil and maple syrup and brush mixture sparingly on top of cookies
• Bake cookies on the middle grill for 10-25 minutes depending on their size and the flour used – or until golden on top and slightly brown underneath.  
• Let cool

Now savor! So delicious!
