We spent a lovely day together, baking all kinds of cookies and treats with unusual baking ingredients such as vegetables and legumes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">She brought homemade healthy chocolate chip cookies with a secret ingredient and asked me to try and guess what is was. After a few wrong answers I finally gave it up and asked her to tell me. You can only imagine how surprised I was when she told me the secret ingredient was no less than chickpeas!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">I simply couldn\u2019t tell! The cookies are absolutely amazing \u2013 soft, chocolatey and rich in texture that melted in my mouth. Simply one of the best chocolate chip cookies I ever had. I asked Ariel for the recipes, and after we made the cookies together, I\u2019m glad to share it with you too. These gluten free chocolate chip cookies are also vegan, very easy to make and require only a few ingredients. If you like soft chocolate chip cookies \u2013 you\u2019re going to love these.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lilcookie.com\/category\/more\/healthy-desserts\/\">Looking for more healthy recipes?
