    FAQ'S

    Frequently asked questions about healthy pumpkin chickpea cookie dough.

    CAN I BAKE COOKIE DOUGH DIP?

    I tried to bake this pumpkin chickpea dough into cookies but it did not turn out very good. If you are going to try baking them as cookies, I would add 1-2 teaspoons of baking powder to the dough.

    HOW CAN I MAKE PUMPKIN CHICKPEA COOKIE DOUGH WITHOUT NUT BUTTER?

    Yes! You can just replace the ¼ cup cashew butter with either more dates or more pumpkin puree.

    SHOULD I USE CANNED OR STEAMED CHICKPEAS?

    Steamed chickpeas are better because you can cook them into a much softer texture than canned chickpeas.

    DO I NEED TO REMOVE THE SKINS OF CHICKPEAS?

    There is no need to remove the skins of the chickpeas!

    IS THIS RECIPE SAFE FOR BABIES AND KIDS?

    Yes! If you have an older baby who has tried all the ingredients in this recipe, this is safe for baby, just leave out the chocolate. And if you want a healthy no sugar fall dessert for kids this is the recipe for you! It's a great recipe to make for when kids have their friends over and want a treat they can share!
