Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies - 2 Ways

If you're like me and you want to indulge AND be healthy, there's no reason why you can't do both! This is the perfect dessert to serve to everyone and both recipes are healthy and delicious!

The base of the first batch is an entire can of chickpeas, and tis completely vegan. I promise, there is no way anyone would guess it's made out of chickpeas! The second batch is made with only four ingredients and is flourless! Please tell me in the comments how they came out, and which one you liked better!!
