These cookies are super healthy, easy to make, and fantastically chocolatey and sweet!I have totally hopped on the new gluten-free trend of using mashed beans in baking (not because I am against gluten, but because I like the idea of using as many whole foods as I can when I'm in the kitchen).
I know it seems a little strange, but I promise - you cannot tell at all that there are a healthy dose of legumes hiding in your cookies!
