Notes
For the smoothest cookie dough, process the oats first before adding the rest of the ingredients to create an oat flour and remove the skins off the chickpeas.
Leftover chickpea cookie dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Get creative with your mix-ins. Chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut can all be delicious additions to this chickpea cookie dough.
