Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (360 F)
Drain the chickpeas and rinse thoroughly
Place all ingredients excluding the chocolate chips in the food processor
Whizz for 2-3 mins until very smooth
Remove the blade from the processor, add the chocolate chips and mix with a spoon
Using a wet tablespoon place spoonfuls onto a baking paper-lined tray
Use the back of the spoon to shape the dollops into circular shapes, approximately 1 cm thick. Do not panic if they look a bit.. shall we say rustic
Bake at 180 degrees celsius for 25 mins
The cookies will still be soft but golden when they are ready, leave to cool on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes before cooling on a rack
Remove from the oven and cool on the tray
