Frequently asked questions
Can I use almond flour instead of oat flour in chickpea cookies?
Yes, you can substitute almond flour for oat flour. Almond flour has a higher fat content, so you might need to adjust the liquid slightly. Start with the same amount and add a teaspoon more liquid if the dough seems too dry. The texture may be slightly different, but the cookies should still be delicious.
How long do chickpea chocolate chip cookies last?
These cookies store well at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat briefly in a low oven.
How to tell when chickpea cookies are done?
Chickpea cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers look set but still slightly soft. They will continue to firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy texture. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Can I make chickpea cookie dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the chickpea cookie dough up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator. Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and can improve the texture. Scoop the chilled dough onto baking sheets and bake as directed, adding a minute or two to the baking time if needed.
