Vegan gluten-free peanut butter chocolate cookies

Becca Cox sent me this recipe and we decided to try it together today. It is AMAZING!! I am so glad there is a way to help meet my need for peanut butter and chocolate, and not feel super guilty and hate myself later. My favorite part of this recipe is that it is made with chick peas. Super easy, throw it in a food processor, shape and bam...cookies :)

Vegan, Gluten-free Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

1 can (14 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup natural peanut butter
4 tbsp agave or honey
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
 1/8 tsp salt
2/3 cups chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Add all ingredients but the chocolate chips to a food processor. Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Mix in the chocolate chips by hand.
3. Using a scoop or wet hands form 1 inch balls of dough, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
4. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for 5 min on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

*These cookies are very soft. Store them between parchment in an airtight container in the fridge.*
