Cookie Dough Snack

I've seen lots of pins for edible cookie dough lately, you know without raw eggs and such.  Even edible cookie dough frosting!  Yum!  So, when I came across this faux cookie dough dip in FamilyFun magazine, I had to try it.  This deceptively delicious recipe has the texture and flavor of homemade cookie dough but it's actually full of a surprise protein-packed ingredient...chickpeas!

This cookie dough illusion is a fun snack to have around when you're craving something sweet.  It made about 2 cups so I saved the leftovers in the refrigerator to have over the course of a few days.

Here is how to make it:

1/3 cup chocolate chips

Enjoy!
