Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Berries and Chickpea chocolate chip cookies

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  This is my 'Berries' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic marker and watercolour pencil.

For the Dinner Date, I am sharing Chickpea Chocolate Chip cookies, a recipe  my daughter concocted.  They are really good considering they are chickpeas and oatmeal.

Here is her recipe:

• 3/4 cup oats (blend until powder form)
• 1 can chickpeas, washed and drained
• 1/4 c zero calorie  syrup 
• 3 tablespoons milk 
• 5 tbsp peanut butter (melted for 50 secs in microwave)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla 
• 1/3 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips (or more if you like) 

Blend oats until powder forms. Add in baking powder… add in syrup, chickpeas, milk, melted peanut butter, vanilla. 

Blend until all smooth. Scrape into bowl and add choc chips. 

Put dough in fridge for 30 min (optional, but makes it less sticky). Spoon onto baking sheet. 

Bake at 350F for 15 min (or until golden edges).  My cookies took 30 minutes as they weren't as dainty looking as in her photo below.  Daughter L is a good cookie baker.
