Equipment

2 flat baking trays
Food Processor

Ingredients

1 cup almond meal* see note
½ cup nut butter* or peanut butter
1 400gm chick peas rinsed and drained
½ cup coconut sugar
¾ cup choclate chips half for the recipe and save some for popping on top of the cookies
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarb soda baking soda

Instructions

Turn the oven on to 180 deg celcius (350 farenheit). Line two flat trays with parchment paper.
Into a high powered food processor add the nut butter with the rinsed and drained chickpeas and pulse to a smooth sticky dough. You may need to do this a few times to get a soft consistency.
Add the coconut sugar, baking powder and soda, almond meal till combined. This may take a few short pulses to combine nicely.
Pop into a bowl and mix in the choc chips. (I like to do it by hand)
Divide mixutre into 10 and roll into balls, flatten and add the rest of the chocolate chips.
Bake for 12-15 minutes and let cool for 15 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack.
Keep in an airtight container to keep fresh.

Notes

*If milling your own almond meal from whole almonds you might find that the cup of nuts when ground becomes more than a cup of meal. Start to add 1 cup of milled almond meal and then if needed add a bit more.
