Recipe Notes
As mentioned, you will need chickpea flour for this recipe.Chickpea flour is a high protein and fiber alternative to all-purpose flour. Like other gluten free flours (thin almond flour for example) chickpea flour is made from ground up chickpeas.
Also mentioned is that this recipe calls for butter.You can find vegan butter alternatives here. Please note that you may need to adjust the amount that you use as they often melt faster than real butter and can cause your cookies to turn out flat.
Mediterranean diet followers have options for butter alternatives that could work in this recipe whick include nut butters, olive oil (use less than you would butter), mashed bananas (1:1), or unsweetened apple sauce (replace only half of the fat 1:1 with applesauce).
