Clean Eating Cookies

Recipe for my clean eating COOKIES!!! You will THANK ME LATER!
If you like a super crunchy thin cookie, this isn't for you! But if you like a doughy, almost under-done, soft cookie... This is right up your alley! They are vegan and gluten free, but don't let the ingredients fool you... They are DELISH!
Ingredients:
Cooking spray
1 can (15oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained (make sure it's no Salt added!)
1/2 cup all natural almond butter or peanut butter
1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave nectar (you can also use honey if you’re not vegan)
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips plus 2 tbsp
sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an 8×8 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a food processor, add all the ingredients except chocolate chips and process until batter is smooth. Fold in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips, I like to use dark chocolate because it has less sugar but it’s up to you. Note: Batter will be thick and super delicious, so you could actually just eat it on it’s own!
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan then sprinkle 2 tbsp of chocolate chips on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean and edges are brown. The batter may look under cooked but you don’t want them to dry out.
Cool pan for 20 minutes on wire rack. Sprinkle with sea salt and cut into squares!!!
(I actually didn't use the 1/3 cup of dark chocolate chips for the inside, I misread my recipe when I made them and ONLY put the 2 tablespoons on top and they were delicious! So if you are really trying to be super healthy, just forgo the chocolate folded in! Trust me, still amazing!)
