Healthy Chocolate Chips Cookies (Inspired by EarthyAndy)

I am a big fan of the Hawaiian blogger EarthyAndy and her adorable family. She makes tasty vegan recipes, and once she shared a vegan (gluten-free) cookie recipe made out of a special ingredient.... CHICKPEAS. I was a bit sceptic at first, but since I tried them I can't stop making them. The chickpea taste is not too pronounced and the taste and texture really does the trick. I have created my version of her recipe, with very few modifications. They are absolutely delicious and chewy (look at this🤤):
