CINNAMON GARBANZO BEAN COOKIES & HONEY GREEK FROZEN YOGURT SANDWICHES

My poor hubby has been thought the ringer with hives and itching.  So this was a spontaneous treat I came up for him last night.   He's in love.   He wanted to know when is the next time I'm going to make these. 

Note: Make the FROZEN YOGURT FIRST!

INGREDIENTS:
1 Can Garbanzo beans
2 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
1/2 Table spoon butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cup flour.  Add one half cup at a time.

FROZEN YOGURT:    
2 cups of Greek Yogurt.
1/2 cup honey
3 Table spoon sugar.  


FIRST:
You are going to need a food processor to cream the G beans.   If it has blades use it..... well your lawn mower has blades?  Use your best discretion.   But hey if you really want to be creative??????  LOL  







Drain and put all the G beans into the processor with olive oil and water, puree.   Make sure you use a spatula to scrap down the sides and puree some more.  The mixture should be creamy.  Next add butter and blend well.  








Place all in bowl and add sugars, honey and cinnamon.  Mix well.
 This is really wet.   No flour in it yet.
 Mix in 1/2 cup of flour.
 Mix in another 1/2 cup flour. 
 And mix in the last 1/2 ish cup flour.   I'm squeezing the dough with my hand to show you it should not be wet and sticky, rather tacky, but it does not stick to my hand.

 Have a cookie pan sprayed with nonstick and hand roll the dough into walnut-ish size dough balls.  With a small cup that has been sprayed with non stick on the bottom flatten the cookies.  They will not flatten on their own.   Turn the burner to 375 and cook until the bottoms are golden.  When cookies don't have eggs or lot's of butter in them, you don't judge doneness by the tops, you watch the bottom. 
 See how light colored the tops are, they don't look done.  But oh! the bottoms are nice and golden, there done. :)    When their in the oven gently pick one up with a metal spatula and look underneath.








FROZEN YOGURT.

Mix Honey, sugar and yogurt together really well.  Pour all in to plastic container and cover with plastic wrap and put in freezer.    This should take about 2 hours.
