Gluten Free Sugar Cookies {Vegan, Low Sugar}
These cookies are totally worth making!
I call these my creative quarantine cookies… because prior to this I probably would have never used chickpeas as a base for cookies, but now forward I certainly will!
These cookies are loaded with fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and others. Chickpeas are a nutrient dense food and using them in cookies can help to boost the nutritional content of the cookies (always good thing).
If you want to add nuts, chocolate chips, and other things to these cookies, go ahead! They’re a great snack or even as a breakfast food. You pick.
Enjoy these cookies!
