Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 30 mins Serves: yields 8
Ingredients: Resource from veganricha.com
¾ cups + 1 tablespoon (about 75 g) cold chickpea flour (put in the freezer for 15 minutes before using which seems to yield a better texture)
⅛ teaspoon (a pinch) sea salt
½ teaspoon (3.5 g) baking soda
2 tablespoons (about 30 g) raw cane sugar (or white sugar)
3 tablespoons (45 ml) oil of your choice that is light tasting
3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup (or agave syrup)
1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
¼ cup (45 g) chocolate chips (or dairy free chocolate chips)
Preparation:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together (flour, salt, baking soda and sugar). Add all the wet ingredients (oil, maple syrup and vanilla) and mix well with a spoon until you reach a thick dough consistency. Add a bit of water if too dry. Add in the chocolate chips and mix just enough to distribute evenly.
Using a tablespoon, make 7 to 8 balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on each cookie with your fingers.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Careful not to overcook them if you want them to be chewy.
Once they are done, take the cookies out of the oven, flatten each one a little using a fork. Wait until cool enough to handle
Note: if the cookies are cooked thoroughly, you won't taste the chickpea flour. The taste of the chickpea flour is absolutely undetectable.

If you choose to substitute chocolate chips for other options, consider raisins, cranberries, flaked unsweetened coconut.
