Chickpea "Cookie Dough"

No one will ever guess that this "cookie dough" is made with a can of chickpeas! Eat as-is or roll into balls and freeze. You can add raisins, M&M's®, peanut butter chips, then roll them in coconut, powdered sugar, or cocoa. I added chocolate chips and chopped peanuts but the choices are endless.
