Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Drain the can of garbanzo beans into a colander and rinse them under water. Shake off excess water but do not dry.

Transfer the garbanzo beans to a food processor, along with the rest of the ingredients for the cookies except for the chocolate chips.

Blend the ingredients until a thick dough forms and all the chickpeas are blended. Stop to scrape the sides as needed to achieve a smooth dough.

Mix the chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

Form the dough into cookie shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press extra chocolate chips into the dough if desired.

Bake on the center rack for 9 to 12 minutes or until the cookies seem firm.

Allow the cookies to cool completely before moving them.
