Shape the Cookie Dough: Using your hands or a spoon, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls. These can be enjoyed immediately or stored for later snacking.

Notes

Adjust maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness.
For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or oat flour.
You can refrigerate the cookie dough balls for firmer texture before serving.
This recipe yields approximately 24 small cookie dough bites.
Make sure to drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well to reduce any canned flavor.
