Chickpea Cookies

It's hard to believe these moist and delicious cookies are packed with garbanzo beans and take only a few minutes to make.
To make life even easier, the Chickpea Cookie Mix is now available in our Plant-Powered Mixes here.
Here's the recipe to make them from scratch:

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup (6 oz/177 ml) filtered water
• One 15 oz. can of garbanzo beans or 1 3/4 cup cooked garbanzo beans (see Instant Pot directions below) 
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut oil
• 6 dates (3 oz), soaked in water for 10-15 minutes if dry 
• 1/2 cup (2.5 oz/70 g) soaked, sprouted, dehydrated almonds or 1/4 cup (2 oz/7 g) almond butter
• 1 tablespoon (.25 oz/6.6 g) ground flax seed 
• 2 tablespoons (.8 oz/10 g) ground chia seed
• 1/3 cup organic almond flour
• 3 tablespoons (1 oz/30 g) golden monk fruit
• 2 teaspoons vanilla powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 drops orange essential oil (therapeutic grade from Doterra or Young Living)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
• 1/2 cup (1.75 oz/49 g) chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup (3 oz/85 g) Lily's dark chocolate chips
• 
  

You can start by using a can of garbanzo beans, or if you have an instant pot, here's the way I do it: 
Soak 3/4 cup of dry garbanzo beans for 8-10 hours and rinse. Place rinsed beans in Instant Pot with 1 cup of fresh water. Pressure cook for 12 minutes with natural release.

Combine canned or freshly cooked garbanzo beans, coconut oil, dates, almonds (or almond butter), and orange oil. in food processor or high-speed blender.

Blend on high for about 1 minute until smooth. This mixture will be the consistency of cookie dough.

Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir together by hand.

Drop by tablespoon onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.

Flatten to 1/4" thickness with a fork (dipped in water, to prevent from sticking to dough).

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

These freeze well.
