Chickpea Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies JUN

When I first started my blog, I had just moved to Washington D.C., was utterly confused about what to do with my life and had endless amounts of student loans. I knew that that I needed to support myself, make a decent income and be independent. So I took a job in marketing at a engineering consulting firm.

Guys, it was terrible. I mean truly awful.

That year proved to be one of toughest years I had ever been through. I was finally alone all by myself, in an unknown city grieving my father’s passing, and needed comfort in any form. So I ate! I ate because I didn’t want to think or feel. I ate because food was the only thing that felt soothing, even though it would never sew up the hole left in my heart.

I ate all the cookies I made, and I mean all of them. I dug my fork into a pan of brownies with no regard for my health, confidence or body. I baked during every moment of free time because I wanted to forget what my heart could not.

If you spend some time looking back in my blog’s archives, you can see that I approach food much differently now. My love for nutrition was always there, but was somehow got buried in the comfort of brown buttery baked goods and binging.


INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour (or garbanzo bean flour)
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3.5 oz 72% dark chocolate bar, coarsely chopped
  • Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling on top

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl mix together melted and cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Tip: Make sure your coconut oil is not HOT. It should be liquid but on the cooler side so that your egg won't cook when you mix everything together.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredient to wet ingredients until well combined. Fold in chocolate chunks. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop dough onto parchment lined baking sheet. Barely flatten the tops of the cookies with the tips of your fingers.
  4. Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes or until edges are slightly golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Makes 12 cookies.
