Healthier Choc Chip Cookies

This recipe puts a healthy twist on the traditional choc chip cookie.

I used chickpea flour in this recipe as it packs a big protein punch (without adding protein powder) and it’s high in fibre to keep you feeling full & for good gut health. Chickpea flour is also gluten free & you can make this recipe nut free by swapping the nut butter for tahini.
