GARBANZO BEAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

 GARBANZO BEAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 

Yay my hubby let me experiment tonight.  He wanted cookies, but we forgot the avocado.  So I was like how about garbanzo beans and he gave me the funniest look you ever seen. LOL    So off I go.  Wow! I'm really impressed, so was he, their light and fluffy. I hope you find these as delightful as we did.  

INGREDIENTS:

1 15 oz or 16 oz can of Garbanzo Beans  (Drained and rinsed well).
1/2 cup white sugar
2 cups or more flour.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 bag of chocolate chips.
1 table spoon of olive oil
2 table spoons of butter.
1/2 table spoon of baking powder
Just a few notes before we start.
1. Sadly these are not good for dipping in milk.
2. You have to flatten them like the avocado cookies. Use the .bottom of a floured cup to press them down.

 
Have a cookie sheet on hand that is sprayed with cooking spray or buttered.

 Put all the G Beans into the food proccessor and cut up the 2 table spoons of butter on top of it.   And basically hit any button until it's creamed.  Add one table spoon of olive oil and cream some more.  
If you don't have a food proccessor, a good amount of elbow grease and a mash potato masher.  Smash the crap out of it, get it as close as you can.   Were their a will their a way.

 Kind of looks like churned butter, but this is churned G Beans.

Put the G Beans in a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup brown & white sugar and baking  powder.  Mix in till it looks like this.  It will get watery on it's own.
At one point I though I was going to have to add some milk, but nope not at all.

 Add the chocolate chips and mix in.  

When you add the flour don't add it all at once.  Add it about a cup or less at a time and mix in very well, before you add more.   You want the dough damp, but not wet.   So you can pick it up and roll it into a ball, but not have it gooping up your hands.

Roll the dough into walnut size balls and set on the cookie tray.  Remember these will not spread out, not enough butter.
Flatten with a floured cup and back between 300 to 420.  Use your.  

Ok this is weird, but their done when the bottoms is a light golden brown.    So take the tray out.  And gently scoop one up with a metal spatula and look under it.   For some reason they don't brown on top.   I think it's because their no egg.

If your kids hate G Beans.  This might be a way to get them to eat them.  LOL
