Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 15 ounces (425 grams) chickpeas, washed and drained
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) cashew butter
- ½ cup (85 grams) mini dairy-free chocolate chips
Liquid Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) almond milk
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Gently remove the delicate skins from chickpeas by carefully pinching each legume between your fingertips, ensuring a smooth texture for the cookie dough.
- Transfer the peeled chickpeas into a food processor and pulse until they transform into a uniformly smooth, creamy consistency.
- Gradually introduce almond milk (120 milliliters or 4 fluid ounces) and pure vanilla extract while the processor continues to blend, creating a silky base.
- Incorporate cashew butter, pure maple syrup, and a delicate sprinkle of sea salt into the mixture, processing until the ingredients meld into a luxuriously creamy texture.
- Pause the processor and transfer the velvety chickpea mixture into a mixing bowl, using a spatula to fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- For immediate enjoyment, scoop the edible cookie dough directly into serving bowls, or cover and refrigerate for a chilled treat lasting up to 3-4 days.
Notes
- Chickpea transformation is key to achieving a smooth, creamy base that mimics traditional cookie dough texture.
- Peeling chickpeas might seem tedious, but this step ensures a silky-smooth consistency without unwanted skins.
- Cashew butter adds richness and helps bind ingredients together, creating a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Maple syrup provides natural sweetness, eliminating the need for refined sugars while adding depth of flavor.
- Storing in the refrigerator allows flavors to meld and provides a firmer, more authentic cookie dough experience.
