Chickpeas can also be used to make excellent flour products. Just grind the dry chickpeas into a powdery state. Today we are preparing chickpeas cookies. For such cookies, you can use walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, or a mix of several types of nuts.
Melt the chocolate with the butter either in a small saucepan or using a double boiler. Beat the egg with the sugar. Cool the melted chocolate to a warm state. Combine both masses, adding maple syrup, and mix.
60 g sugar, 40 g chocolate, 40 g butter, 1 pc egg, 30 g maple syrup
Crush the nuts into crumbs using a blender.
80 g walnut, 80 g peanut
Mix all the dry ingredients.
80 g chickpea flour, 80 g flour, 3 pinch salt, 10-15 g cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder
Pour the liquid chocolate base into the resulting mass and knead the dough. Do not try to make it elastic and firm if you do not want to end up with hard cookies. Let it be sticky and even slightly viscous, the main thing is that it does not spread in your hands. Put the dough in the refrigerator for at least a quarter of an hour (you can for an hour or two).
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 170 °C. Take out the cooled dough and form small flat patties about 0.5-0.6 cm thick. Place the blanks on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat and bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes. The longer you bake the chickpea cookies, the harder they will be.
As soon as the cookies are slightly browned, remove them from the oven and cool them by placing them on paper towels or a rack. Then serve, transferring to serving dishes. Enjoy your meal!
