Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!  I just cannot wait to try this recipe because I can finally eat a cookie without feeling completely guilty!  The cookie is loaded with antioxidants, Vitamin B, folic acid and magnesium - this will provide antioxidants, energy and can help you avoid migraines (if you are susceptible to them).   Check out the recipe and let me know what you think!!

Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 1/4 c canned chickpeas, rinse and patted dry

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 c + 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (regular peanut butter will make these too oily)

1/4 c honey

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 c chocoalte chips

Instructions: 
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until very smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.  With wet hands, form into 1 ½ inch balls. The mixture will be very thick and sticky. Lightly press cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes.  Remove and allow to cool.  Makes about 20 cookies
