Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough

Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough made in a blender.  A healthy eggless no bake cookie dough recipe to satisfy that sweet tooth! {gluten free, refined sugar free, dairy free} Sweets! Y’all. I feel like I’m still detoxing from all the Christmas Cookies I inhaled a couple weeks ago. Anyone else with me? Sugar is seriously like a drug. Once you have a bit, you start craving it and you really do go through a “withdrawl” from it. Today I’m replacing all those cookies with this healthy eggless Vegan Chickpea Cookie Dough. Honestly, I’d heard about making cookie dough with chickpeas for a while. But I wasn’t so sure about it. I’ve made brownies with pumpkin, avocado, and black beans before but never cookie dough with chickpeas. Guys.

It’s a game changer! I actually just bought two more cans of chickpeas today so I could make more to have this on hand at night. All I really need is like a spoonful or so and I’m satisfied.
