I was totally surprised that we could not taste the beans at all. It was amazing to realize that chickpeas could taste so much like cookie dough.

Infact, I asked my 3rd grader to taste it before finalizing and she quickly said…. “mom did you just make cookie dough?”

Whoa…she was excited with it and did not even figure out that I sneaked in legumes in it. I was excited too because I did not tell her what I made. It was a win-win for both of us.

Totally a delectable treat that involves no cooking at all and no pre-planning also.

Ingredients notes:

  • Chickpeas – it’s a protein rich legume and is super versatile. It is rich in fiber too. This forms a base here in this recipe and brings out a beautiful texture along with the wonderful flavor. I used canned chickpeas here but you use home cooked chickpeas as well.
  • Dates – it’s a natural sweetener with being high in fiber and antioxidants. It adds perfect sweetness to this recipe and helps in making the dough stick to each other as well.
  • Almond butter – it a great substitute to any oil and butter. Adds healthy fats along with protein to this recipe and makes it creamy as well. You may use any nut butter in this recipe though.
  • Almond flour – I used it to bind and compliment almond butter. At the same time, it helped me to make this chickpea cookie dough dip flourless and healthier.
  • Maple syrup – this I used to smoothen out the taste and add a bit of caramelized flavor to it. Maple syrup also facilities better blending of this recipe.
  • Chocolate chips – I use it to make it family friendly and add extra punch to this recipe.

After reading the ingredients in detail now all you have to is to go through that 1 important step and enjoy it immediately.

I am sure you must already be having all these ingredients so wait not more and get started with it.

How to make chickpea cookie dough

Firstly, I combined all the ingredients (except chocolate chips) in the food processor and blended it well until smooth and creamy.

Secondly, I spooned it out in a bowl and folded in chocolate chips to it.

Lastly, I served it immediately with lots of juicy fruits like apples, pears and oranges.

We totally had a fun time with this dessert dip.

Its on rotation for us now especially on Mother’s Day as we are chilling with this satisfying vegan cookie dough. Moreover, its guilt free and healthier so all the moms out here can simply enjoy without worrying about burning calories the next day.

Expert tips:

  • Make sure to soak the dates in warm water as long as they soften. This helps in easy blending.
  • It is important to rinse canned chickpeas to avoid any extra taste or flavor. You may preserve aquafaba for some other use.
