Chickpea Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free)

I bought some chickpea flour, and I really wasn't sure what to do with it. I found this recipe, and I tried it. The cookies turn out kind of cake-like, but nice. One word of caution, the batter tastes disgusting, but it shouldn't be a reflection on the end result.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 28 cookies

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  cups brown sugar
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla
• 2  cups chickpea flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 2⁄3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
•  chopped  nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
3. Mix chickpea flour, salt, soda, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. Stir in chips and nuts.
6. Drop by the tablespoon onto a baking sheet. I use parchment paper, but if you don't, grease the baking sheet. (If your dough is very thick, push it down and spread it out a little. My dough was soft and sticky, and it melted and spread out in the oven.).
7. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes. These cookies will have to be a little darker than golden brown so that they will set and hold together.
8. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing. Cool completely on a wire rack.
