Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the skinned chickpeas, hot water, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Soak for 10–20 minutes to help remove some of the canned chickpea flavor. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in cold water to cool.
- Add the drained chickpeas, remaining teaspoon of lemon juice, and the coconut oil to a food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Add the almond meal, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Transfer the ‘dough’ to a medium bowl and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl and transfer to the refrigerator to cool for 1 hour (or freeze for 30 minutes), until stiffened to the consistency of cookie dough. The dough will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Enjoy!
