OK, I forgot to smash the chick peas this time and I think that’s a must. I did cut back the butter and put one of the “lunch” cups of organic apple sauce and added a few tablespoons of ground flax seed. I cut sugar down to 2/3 cup!

I have made these several times with whole wheat flour and cutting WAY back on the sugar. I also use a little less choc. chips, but not by much. Will try subbing applesauce for a portion of the butter this time! These don’t last long around my house.
Does anyone recommend this entire cookbook?

I love these cookies, but I can’t understand the last line:
4. Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.

3 days is such a short time for cookies–don’t they keep longer than that?

Thanks, June

Are you supposed to blend the chickpeas smooth first? Seems like otherwise, you’d have big hunks o’ bean in the cookies, and that can’t be delicious.

Hi, I just made your cookies but I made some modifications to the recipe. I used Smart Balance instead of butter. Also instead of 2 cups of flour I used 2 cups of whole wheat flour. They came out really good. My family love the cookies. Thanks for the recipe.

I just made these with whole wheat flour and they turned out great. I did use all the butter but reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. My 3 year old gobbled 2 up in no time. The true test will be the 11 year old. You can’t get anything past her.
I love them!
