I am always looking for a healthy cookie recipe that is low in fat and high in fiber. I don’t like to cook often with butter and I’m constantly looking for alternatives. Mashed chickpeas are a wonderful additive to your baking as they keep things moist and add a nice amount of protein and fiber. This recipe is dairy free, gluten free and nut free! My kids loved them and had no idea there were chickpeas lurking inside 😉 They were a tasty treat this past halloween weekend.

Ingredients

• 1 15.5 oz can of chickpeas (drained)
