This month we collaborated with the lovely Swayampurna of La Petit Chef. Swayampurna is a banker-turned-chef, and the author of My Indian Kitchen. We loved her innovative take on these delicious cookies using our Organic Bengal Gram Flour.
Chickpea flour chocolate chunk cookies or gram flour cookies are the perfect gluten free, no butter bake option that you can whip up in 20 mins flat, including baking time!! Imagine soft centred cookies where you bite into molten dark chocolate chunks everytime you take a bite.

1. Start by mixing together the dry ingredients like the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Keep it aside.
