Chocolate Chip Cookies with Chick Peas

Ingredients

• 1C firmly packed brown sugar   
• 1/2C natural peanut butter  
• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract   
• 1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
• 3/4C chopped walnuts
• 2C semi sweet chocolate chips
• 2C all purpose flour
• 1/2 C old fashioned oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a large or bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and peanut butter with a wooden spoon or on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg whites and vanilla, then the chickpeas, walnuts and chocolate chips. (If using a standing mixer, partially cover the bowl with a dish towel to keep chickpeas from flying out!)
3. Add the flour, oats, baking soda and salt and mix on low speed until a thick dough forms.
4. Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto the baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are golden brown and just set (approx. 20 minutes). Do not overbake! Transfer to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
