Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Add the chickpeas and nut butter into a food processor and blend on high for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the maple syrup and vanilla and continue to blend for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides every minute. You want the mixture to be entirely free of any lumps.

Step 4

Add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then blend for 30 seconds.

Step 5

Test the temperature of the batter and if necessary, let cool before adding the chocolate chips. When blending for a long time, the mixture can get warm and cause the chocolate to melt slightly.

Step 6

Once cooled, stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 7

Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet. The cookies will spread just slightly so be sure you leave a few inches of space between cookies.

Step 8

Bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookies have browned on the edges.
