Looking for a healthy and delicious cookie recipe. If you are, then chick pea flour cookies are just for your family, especially the kids. So keep on reading and enjoy this recipe that I am sharing with you. It is great for your children’s breakfast, lunches, and snacks.
Chickpea has lots of benefits. It is a really good source of protein, iron, folate, thiamine, iron, phosphorus, copper, manganese, and fiber. Also, it has a creamy texture that helps you get full easily. Also, it is gluten-free and has plenty of vitamins.
Moreover, manufacturers make the traditional type of chickpea flour from the brown version of chickpeas. To produce chickpea flour, they remove the dark hulls from dried chickpeas. In most cases, they make the chickpea flour by grinding split chickpeas into a fine powder.
What is Chickpea Flour?
First and foremost, chickpea flour has fewer carbohydrates than white flour. For this reason, it has fewer effects on your blood sugar. Not only that, but also it can improve fat blood levels. The main reason is that it is rich in fiber and it contains resistant starch.
Moreover, chickpeas provide almost all essential amino acids, making them an ideal protein source. In addition, chickpeas contain antioxidants called polyphenols. Antioxidants help fight free radicals. Therefore, using chickpea flour can reduce the harmful acrylamide in processed foods.
Additionally, you can use chickpea flour for making flatbreads and batter-based foods like pancakes and waffles. It is also a great ingredient to combine with other gluten-free flour for making quickbreads, cookies, and muffins.

Tips and Tricks For Chickpea Flour Cookies
You can make it at home if you do not have chickpea flour. So with that, use chickpeas that are raw and dried. Using a high-powered blender, blend the chickpeas for about two minutes until they are very fine. Or till it achieves the same flour texture as actual chickpea flour. Then, remove the lumps from the blended chickpea flour using a sieve.
Suppose you plan to lose a few pounds. Or want to reduce your calorie intake. You can try substituting chickpea flour in your recipes because chickpea flour has lesser calories than white flour. Remember, consuming low-calorie foods reduce your calorie intake since it causes you to eat lesser portions. It also has higher protein content than wheat flour, decreasing hunger and increasing the calories you burn.
Chickpea flour behaves similarly to wheat flour in baking, which is a good substitute for flour. Therefore, people who have gluten intolerance can enjoy baked goods using chickpea flour instead of wheat.
Furthermore, make sure to store chickpea flour at room temperature in an airtight container. With this, it can last up to six months. Likewise, it can even last longer if kept in the fridge. In addition to that, you can put it in the freezer. Doing so would make it last for about one to two years.
