If chickpea cookies are a new concept to you, read on: they are a lot tastier than they sound.
I personally love the texture of these cookies and they are gluten free, full of protein and good fats. They are also refinned sugar free- yee har!
You can make then nut free by replacing the peaunut butter with tahini (sesame seed butter)
