                                                                 Peanut butter
                                                     &
                                        Chickpea cookies

These cookies are so good!
                  This is what you need

                                        1 large can of chickpeas
                                        1 cup peanut butter (it has to be ground at health food store
                                                                              nothing in it!  I like mine chunky

                                         1/2 cup of unpasteurized honey (you can use more if you like your                          
                                                                                                        coookies sweeter)
                                         1 tablespoon of REAL vanilla

AND just enough chick pea flour (you can buy this at most supermarkets) to make the dough easy to work with.

How you do it:

Preheat oven to 325 F.

Drain and rinse the chick peas.  Dry them on a paper towel.
Now put them in a food processor and process until it is smooth.
Now add the peanut butter, honey and vanilla. 
Process until smooth.
Now start stirring in by hand your chickpea flour, just enough to hold it together.  It should not be a lot.

Now roll into a ball in hands.  this is messy :) About one and a half inches around and put them on a baking sheet that is covered with  parchment paper.  Push your fingertip into the middle to make a nice little dent.

These cookies do not spread.
You bake them for about 10 mins  Check them so they don't burn on the bottom.  They will be very very soft when you take them out.  They harden when they cool.
You can put a little bit of home made jam in the fingerprint :) so fancy!

These cookies should be store in something that is not air tight.  As they are very moist.  These are cook and eat in a few days. You can freeze them and take them out a few minutes before you want to devour them! They are so delicious and they are so healthy for you.

When you want to eat, eat whats good and  will repair and help your body.  You can't go wrong if you eat like that!
