High Protein chickpea Cookies
Here is one of my favorite healthy sweet snacks: these cookies are soft, delicious, low in calories, and packed with proteins and fibers! They are great candidates for an afternoon snack, breakfast, or dessert. Once you compare their nutritional values with industrial cookies, you will never want to buy some again! Especially since they usually contain palm oil, E160a, E322, E450. Moreover, these ones are very easy to make and don’t contain any hazardous ingredients....

Tips & Tricks
Depending on the protein powder you use, you might feel like adding some sweetness. In this case, you can add a bit of stevia to increase the sweetness without adding extra calories.
If you want even softer cookies, you can add a bit of plant milk to the dough, but go very slowly when adding it.
You can store the cookies in a jar for 4-5 days, in the fridge for a week, or in your freezer for a month.
