Chickpea Thin Mints Cookies
DESCRIPTION
Yes, this recipe I found by Lauren Goslin, is a dessert snack made with chickpea flour. It's a very creative use of beans to re-create those famous Thin Mint girlscout cookies.
INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
COOKIE:
- 2/3 cup + 1 T. chickpea flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 1/2 tsp mint extract
CHOCOLATE COATING:
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter melted
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3/4 tsp mint extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix together the dry ingredients for the cookies: flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
- Mix together the wet ingredients for the cookies: maple syrup, oil, and mint.
- Mix together the ingredients for the cookies until well combined.
- Using wet/damp hands (so the dough doesn't stick), make about 16 small, round Thin Mint-sized discs (the dough should be about 1/8 inch in thickness).
- Place the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake the cookies for 11-14 minutes, until tops appear baked.
- Immediately out of the oven, press down on each cookie with a fork to further flatten the tops and eliminate the small amount of air present (this contributes to making the cookie crispy).
- Place the cookies in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating (or for about 10 minutes until cool to the touch).
- Whisk together the ingredients for the chocolate coating until smooth.
- Once cooled, dip each cookie into the coating, covering it completely.
- Place the cookies onto a large wax paper-lined plate and into the freezer to harden.
- Enjoy once the chocolate coating has solidified, but keep in the freezer for best storage (especially if using coconut oil in the coating, as this melts quickly).
