1 1/3 cups chickpea flour
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or substitute your preferred nut butter or seed butter)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, vinegar, and salt to a large mixing bowl, then use a whisk to mix well.
Add the chickpea flour, baking soda, and dark chocolate chips, then use your hands to mix until a dough is formed (the dough will be sticky so I recommend wearing kitchen gloves to make this easy.).
Use your hands to form 12 evenly sized balls of cookie dough, and place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Use your fingers to press the dough balls into flat circle shapes.
Bake for 14-16 minutes.
Let the cookies cool off for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze them for up to three months.
Optional additions include 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or raisins.
