So I have made Chocolate Chip Chickpea Cookies and Chocolatey Avocado Chickpea Cookies. Now I am playing with one of my other favourite flavours, cinnamon. Even though chocolate is my favourite flavour, I would have to say that cinnamon is probably a close second.

Now I could have called this an “oatmeal” raisin cookie, but it’s not. No oatmeal. It does remind me of one though, which is fabulous! Nice and chewy goodness!
