2Add the chick peas to a food processor and blend until smooth.
3Add all the other ingredients other than the chocolate chips and blend until mixed.
4Transfer the mixture into a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips.
5Using your hands roll the mixture into large walnut sized balls and place on a baking sheet leaving a big gap between each one.
6Once you have done this with all the mixture press the top down with the back of a spoon to make a cookie shape.
