White Bean Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipes

WHITE BEAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Also, drain your beans and then rinse them and allow them to drain again.
• In a food processor, blend together the beans, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice and baking powder. Blend these ingredients until combined, stopping a needed to scrape down the sides.
• Next, fold in the chocolate chocolate chips. You may need to transfer the cookie batter to a large mixing bowl to fold in the chips properly.
• Use a scoop or large spoon to scoop the cookies on to the parchment paper, leaving plenty of spread room between cookies. Then press additional chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies as needed.
• Bake the cookies until the edges begin to brown (12-15 minutes). Then allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a rack. Store these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, put the beans in a food processor; add the maple syrup and puree until very smooth.
• Add the bean mixture to the creamed butter in the bowl of the stand mixer and beat on medium speed until completely smooth, stopping and scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula several times, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between additions; add the vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl. Don¿t worry if the mixture looks curdled; it will smooth out when you add the dry ingredients.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda and salt together into a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chips. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared pans, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies begin to turn golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes; do not overbake. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool for at least 10 minutes on the pan before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
