Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C. Combine all the ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a food processor and process until it forms a giant ball. Make sure to scrape the sides and the top to get the little chunks of chickpeas and process again until they're combined. 2. Put in the chocolate chips and pulse it until the chips are incorporated. You will probably have to break up the giant ball with your hands a couple of times. The mixture will be very thick and sticky. 3. With wet hands, form into 1 1/2" balls. Place onto a piece of parchment paper. If you want them to look more like normal cookies, press down slightly on the balls. They don't do much rising. 4. Bake for about 10 minutes. The dough balls will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. 5. Store in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge) for up to 1 week.
