Finally!! I have been waiting for this one. Sooooo Yum!
Curious – why nutritional yeast?
It helps give it that rich buttery flavor that traditional cookie dough has
Replace salt and butter ?
Not sure of your question but my recipe doesn’t have butter and there is a tiny amount of salt in the peanut butter.
Excelente!
?
question- why do emojis show up as question marks on the recipe comments?
Hmmm I’m not sure. I will have Jeff look into it.
Hi Jill can you use almond butter instead of peanut butter
Yes
Hi Jill I have a question for you have you tried the wellbean bars before what is the best one
I like the peanut butter crunch, almond fudge brownie and lemon poppyseed
Hi Jill do you have refrigate theses cookies
Yes
Hi. Can any other starch (bean/pea) be used in place of chickpeas?
I haven’t tried it but I think something like navy or northern beans might work.
LOVE this recipe. I changed it just a little bit. I added one teaspoon of vanilla and one teaspoon almond extract. I also added some chopped
fresh cherries. So delicious. Tasted like a vegan amaretto chocolate cherry ice cream. Thank you for the recipe!
I too have been waiting for a recipe like this. 🙂 Thanks sooo much Jill. Would cacao nibs work instead of chocolate chips?
Yes
Love these. Making them on repeat.
I find I need to add about 1/4 water to get the batter to a smooth texture.
My dates are usually soft might I might try soaking them in boiling water prior to mixing next time.
Typical yummy recipe from you. Love it as dough or cookies. ??
I don’t buy nutritional yeast. Will it be okay to leave that out or is there something else to use in its place? Thank you!
You can leave it out
So Amazing!!
Thank you!
This was SOOO freaking good!!! I replaced peanut butter with “lightly sweetened” organic sunflower butter, (I can’t have peanuts) and it was delicious! I also sometimes substitute cashew butter for peanut butter since the flavor is sort of close, but I think sunflower butter is my absolute favorite to sub with! Thank you, Jill, for this amazing recipe! Love you and your channel <3
Great recipe but can I suggest changing the first ingredient to either 1 can of chickpeas or 9 ounces of drained chickpeas? I read that it should be 14 ounces of drained chickpeas which is nearly double what your recipe asks for. Thanks again for a great recipe!
The cans I buy are 14 ounces.
I really enjoyed this recipe. I had to add about 1/4-1/2 cup plant milk because I don’t have a food processor. The cookies burned for me due to the batter being a little less thick. 15 minutes at 350 ended up being the right time and then letting them sit to harden a bit. I was wondering if you tried freezing them already cooked?
Yes, they freeze beautifully.
