So I've decided to jump on the bandwagon again and try another recipe that I've been seeing all over the internet lately. This one was a bit disappointing though. Not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't as amazing as I expected based on all the accounts I read. It tasted like sweet hummus, not cookie dough. Maybe if I didn't know it was made out of chickpeas, I wouldn't have thought that, but I did.
Even though I generally like to make healthy alternatives whenever possible, I think this is one of those times the real deal with all the unhealthiness is worth it.
Ingredients:
- Chickpeas
- Peanut butter
- Vanilla extract
- Salt
- Sugar
- Honey
- Chocolate chips
Directions:
- I used canned chickpeas, so I drained 2 cans of chickpeas while reserving the liquid from the can.
- Put the chickpeas in a food processor along with the peanut butter (about 2 tbs), vanilla extract (2 tsp), salt (a pinch), sugar and honey (I don't know how much I used because I just kept adding it until it tasted like I wanted it to).
- Puree the mixture until sooth and creamy. I found it to be a bit dry, so I added a bit of the liquid from the can until I got the desired consistency.
- Stir in chocolate chips and then top it with a few more as a garnish.
- Serve with graham crackers or vanilla wafers.

Yeah I feel like this might be a mind over matter kind of thing...only one way to find out though...cookie dough dip taste test!
But it sounds so intriguing. I have a child (grown) who thinks cookie dough makes all things possible.
Sounds interesting, but I don't think I could wrap my head around it enough to enjoy it..
