Finally. A no-guilt edible cookie dough that’s super delicious and fun to eat! To make this easy sweet hummus recipe all you’ll need are a few pantry staples plus a food processor or a high-speed blender. Or if needed, you can add everything to a bowl and mash the mixture by hand.

If made with gluten-free ingredients (be sure to check all ingredient labels), and Biscoff cookie butter (a nut-free option), this chickpea cookie dough hummus is ideal for children’s birthday parties and large group gatherings.

Just before serving, to elevate both taste and presentation, drizzle the surface of the hummus with pure maple syrup. Garnish with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt and more mini chocolate chips. Surround the bowl with a variety of tasty dippers. Mix healthy options in with the sweet ones.

Kid-approved dippers for cookie dough hummus include: hand-snapped pieces of waffle cone, pretzels, sliced pears, Fuji apples, Granny Smith apples, long thin slices of frozen bananas, rolled wafer cookies and Oreos.

INGREDIENTS

• Chickpeas: Are the same as garbanzo beans. This ingredient is the base of our cookie dough hummus. Their mild nutty flavor pairs well with the other ingredients in this dessert recipe. We’re using canned chickpeas because they’re already cooked. Drain in a colander and rinse well. For a smoother more tender hummus, remove the skins.
• Natural Nut Butter: Creamy peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter. We’re using “natural” so the dessert hummus has enough moisture. But if you don’t have the natural type on hand, just add more melted butter to the dip to give it a spreadable, dippable consistency.
• Light Brown Sugar: Enhances the earthiness of the chickpeas while adding essential sweetness to this dessert recipe. But if desired, you can sweeten the cookie dough hummus with honey instead, or reduce the sugar in this recipe to 1/4 cup.
• Melted Butter: Adds delicious flavor and richness. It also adds moisture to the hummus so it’s not too stiff for dipping light-weight cookies and crackers. For a dairy-free hummus, use non-dairy butter.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Enhances the sweetness and flavor of the nut butter and chocolate chips. It also provides a delicious aroma.
• Sea Salt: Enhances the depth and complexity of the other flavors.
• Mini Chocolate Chips: An essential ingredient for this chocolate chip cookie dough hummus.
• Flaky Sea Salt: Enhances the flavor of chocolate while also providing beautiful texture and sparkle for the finished dish.

RECIPE STEPS

• STEP 1: Add chickpeas, nut butter, brown sugar, melted butter, sea salt and vanilla extract to the bowl of a food processor or a high-speed blender. (If you don’t have either of these kitchen tools, add the ingredients to a large bowl. Mash by hand with a potato masher tool.)
• STEP 2: Pulse for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the desired consistency is reached. If the mixture is too thick, add more melted butter and an additional dash of vanilla extract. Pulse briefly to combine.
• STEP 3: Add in the chocolate chips. Pulse briefly until just combined. Small chunks of chocolate may still be visible, and that’s okay.
• STEP 4: Transfer chickpea cookie dough to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle maple syrup over the surface of the hummus. Garnish with mini chocolate chips and a pinch or two of flaky salt. Serve with dippers like sliced apples and chocolate (or honey) graham crackers.
