Gingerbread Chickpea Cookie Dough

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to a food processor and pulse for 20 seconds or until your chick peas are roughly broken down.

2. Use the food processor to combine all ingredients apart from the chocolate chips (if using) until you get a dough like texture.

3. Remove your cookie dough from the food processor and knead with your hands to add in the chocolate chips.

4. Serve your cookie dough immediately or place it in air-tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
