Cookies are a staple in my home, we have them for snacks, and there’s always one going into the babes’ lunch boxes. I find the trick is to make high protein cookies, like these Double-Chocolate Chickpea Cookies. Not only will protein fill the kids up, but it will stop the blood sugar crash and the tantrums that all too often come after a sweet treat. Chickpeas are brilliant for this; you can’t taste them, they negate the need to use eggs in the recipe and they make the texture of the cookies SO FUDGEY.
Give these chickpea cookies a try; they freeze like a dream.
