How to Make Edible Cookie Dough?

For edible cookie dough, drain 300 grams of cooked chickpeas thoroughly. You can remove the outer skins of the chickpeas if you wish to obtain a smoother cookie dough.

Place the drained chickpeas, 1/2 cup tahini, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 packet vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt into a food processor (or blender). Process all ingredients until smooth and the mixture resembles cookie dough.

Transfer the prepared homogeneous mixture to a bowl. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate and gently mix with a spatula. Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to set.

Serve the rested edible cookie dough in portions using a spoon (or shape into balls using an ice cream scoop if desired). The edible cookie dough is ready. Enjoy!
