If a pastry could be a friend, the Nanaimo Bar would be my BFF. This version won "Cookie of the Fair" at the 2006 Iowa State Fair. —Kelly McCulley Des Moines, Iowa
These are my husband’s favorite chocolate cookies. They are fudgy and decadent, and no one would ever guess that there are chickpeas (!) in the dough. The chickpeas replace both flour and eggs, making this a fantastic gluten-free dessert option. Add 2 tablespoons of flour to give these a cakelike texture.
