Chickpea Cookies


Hello everyone,

I'm sitting at my desk,all snuggled up in a blue oversize sweater with greasy hair keeping me company,tipping up some blog post and sipping hot ginger tea.HELL YES IT'S SUNDAY!
I've just had pumpkin curry and the Arctic Monkeys are playing in the background....Can life get any better? I don't think so ;)
I'm all over baking right know,I've baked chickpea cookies yesterday and I might make some tomorrow too.My baking addiction is real guys!No I'm just being cheeky,passion is a good thing right?

Anyway,chickpeas have proven themselves as reliable baking friends;they make pastry crumbly,keeping the texture perfectly moist.I might try to bake an apple pie next week,using this cookie recipe for the crust.Wish me luck,I will report back on it next week!
By the way,I really recommend using almond extract it makes the cookies taste like frangipane pastry <3
