- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4-5 Biscoff cookies (for the top)
- Extra cookie butter (for the top)
Directions
- Press a large piece of parchment paper into a square metal 8×8 baking pan (see notes below) and crease the bottom edges so when you take it out you can see the outline of the size of the pan. Evenly spread the cookie butter inside the creased edges, then chill it in the freezer until firm. I recommend checking to make sure the layer is completely firm before starting the batter!

- Fold in the flour, espresso powder, and salt until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the pan and spread it to the edges. (about 340 grams). Place the frozen cookie butter square on top of the batter, peeling the parchment paper off the top. Pour the rest of the batter on top and spread it evenly to the edges.
- Break up the Biscoff cookies into pieces and press them on top of the batter. Warm 2 tablespoons of cookie butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds (until runny) and drizzle it over the top.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out covered in a few moist crumbs. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack before removing. You can drizzle more cookie butter on top before cutting, then enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. They can be frozen after baking in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
10. Chickpea Cookie Dough Bites Easy


Ingredients

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegan mini chocolate chips, optional

Directions
- Place rinsed and drained chickpeas in a clean kitchen cloth and gently rub the chickpeas dry. Remove any excess chickpea skins that come off in the process.
- Place chickpeas along with nut butter, oat flour, maple syrup, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a food processor. Begin to pulse on high continuously until a dough starts to form and there are no chunks of chickpeas visible.
- If adding chocolate chips, add them to the food processor and pulse a few times to mix them into the dough. Then, place the dough to chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Prepare a parchment lined tray and with a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure, scoop some dough into your hands and begin rolling them to form a dough ball. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Place the tray into the freezer to firm up a little more.
- Melt the chocolate. If using a microwave, place chocolate into a microwave safe dish and microwave in 15 second intervals until chocolate is mostly melted and stir with a spoon until chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If using the stove top, bring a small sauce pan up to medium-low heat and add your chocolate and continue to stir until mostly melted. Remove from the heat and continue to stir until smooth then allow to cool off a little.
- Take your cookie dough balls out of the freezer and once chocolate is cooled, take two forks and dip the cookie dough balls into the chocolate making sure to completely coat. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and then place the coated dough balls on the parchment paper.
- Once all cookie dough balls are coated, place the tray in the fridge for a few minutes to allow the chocolate to harden, then enjoy!
