Instructions

In a food processor, blend together all ingredients except chocolate chips until smooth, gradually adding ½ tablespoon of water to thin.
Give it a taste, and add more maple syrup, if desired. Stir in chocolate chips and enjoy!

Notes

*Chickpeas - Both canned or chickpeas cooked from scratch will work in this recipe.

Be sure to use the unsalted ones, or your hummus might turn out to be too salty!
If cooking your own chickpeas, I recommend cooking them until soft and mushy to produce smooth hummus.

**Maple syrup - You can use other kinds of liquid sweetener like agave syrup and coconut nectar in place. Alternatively, use a ¾-1 cup of moist dates instead if you prefer to sweeten yours with fruits.

Helpful tips

You could use a high-speed blender like Vitamix in place of a food processor. It might be a little harder to blend and clean but will still be reasonably easy to handle.
If your cookie dough felt warm after blending, let it cool down to room temperature before stirring in chocolate chips to prevent them from melting.
This cookie dough hummus will last in the fridge for 5 days in a sealed container/glass jar.
