Gluten-free cookie. The flour is entirely chickpea, with a touch of cornstarch. Great taste and texture, like better or gourmet cookies.

Recipe Ingredients

  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups chopped chocolate
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ¼ cup chopped mixed nuts, or to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease 2 baking sheets.
  2. 2 Beat butter, brown sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Mix chickpea flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture and mix thoroughly into a cookie dough. Fold chocolate, oats, and nuts into the dough.
  3. 3 Chill dough in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Roll cookie dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheets.
  5. 5 Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking rack for 2 to 3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

One said, “If you hadn’t told me about the chickpea flour, I would have never known.” I sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top and used mini gourmet chocolate chips so there was chocolate in - Read more ...

    They worked out quite well. I stuck to the recipe though I added some cinnamon to half the batch for fun. Either way was good!

    These were shockingly good! I really was hesitant in using that much chickpea flour but it actually works!
