I can’t get my 9 year old to eat my healthy snacks at all. I was so pleasantly surprised when I made this Easy Kid Friendly Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip and she couldn’t wait to dig in! She had no idea it was laden with protein-rich chickpeas. AND a bonus is that she is always asking to eat cookie dough and I never allow her to because of the eggs – there are NO eggs in this recipe!

Even if you are a chickpea skeptic, you have to try this recipe. When I made my delicious chickpea oatmeal cookies, my sister-in-law thought I was nuts. But having a grain-free and protein-rich snack made me so excited and I love being able to create and share other chickpea recipes!
This chickpea cookie dough dip is so yummy with graham crackers or animal crackers! It definitely gets the kids excited to eat it and makes mama happy knowing they are having a healthy snack.

This sounds fabulous – I’m making it today! We love bean brownies and blondies, so I bet we’ll love this, too!
YUM! Edible cookie dough is one of my favorite treats! What a cool twist on this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for joining us at Fiesta Friday!
Oh yum! I love chickpeas (actually made tomato garlic hummus today) but I never made a sweet “hummus” like that before! Great idea 🙂

Can I bake these into cookies like right now? Or maybe the dough will disappear before it makes it into the oven. Looks oh so yummy!
I love sneaking healthy foods into the things my kids will eat! Thank you for linking up to last weeks Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesday. Don’t forget to link up this week, if you haven’t already!
