    Chocolate Hummus Cookie Sandwiches

    What, does that sound weird to you?

    Chocolate Hummus Cookie Sandwiches...a healthier, higher-protein version of the classic!

    You read it correctly. Cookie sammies. But with creamy dreamy chocolate in the middle. Chocolate made of chickpeas. Chickpea chocolate. Chocolate hummus.

    WHY WOULD THERE BE ANY OTHER KIND.

    I'm so weirdly obsessed with good ol' garlic hummus that I often forget about the wide world of sweet hummuses. I understand if that sounds weird to you. But it's about time you step outside of your savory hummus comfort zone. Times are changing, and you're gonna get left in the dust if you limit yourself to solely salty garbanzo spreads.

    Chocolate Hummus Cookie Sandwiches...a healthier, higher-protein version of the classic!

    It tastes like... chocolate frosting. I mean I ate half the bowl with my finger as the dipping vehicle. Then I had the magical idea to stuff it inside my new favorite cookies. It was a moment of genius.

    When I was little I used to wait in line forever at the pool waiting for those unbelievable M&M ice cream cookie sandwiches. They were the best thing that ever happened to my eight-year-old taste buds.

    Chocolate Hummus Cookie Sandwiches...a healthier, higher-protein version of the classic!

    These sammies are the next best thing. They're perfect for my twenty-five year old taste buds. Instead of M&M's, try rolling them in cacao nibs or chocolate chips. Or relive your glory years and roll them in M&M's. I won't tell.

    Let's chat about the outside of these 'wiches. The cookie "bread," if you will. These are a treat that everyone can enjoy mindfully. Perfection!

    Ginny Bakes offers a bunch of cookie flavors including chocolate chip, double chocolate, coconut oatmeal, dreamy vegan, chocolate chip macadamia, sweet cinnamon, ginger crisp, cranberry pistachio, and butter crisp. In addition to cookies, they also make bars, crumbles, mixes, and mini bags of cookies for on-the-go sweet snacking. I rolled with the chocolate chip because...chocolate all the time.

    Chocolate Hummus Cookie Sandwiches...a healthier, higher-protein version of the classic!

    The cookies taste perfectly sweet and crunchy in addition to being just the right size. I love that I can snack on a couple as a treat and not feel over-the-edge full. This is not a boring, healthy shmealthy cookie. You can taste the love in these gems! They're the ideal back-to-school treat for moms and kiddos alike.

    The lunch box is calling!

      Oh I'm totally on board with the dessert hummus. Love that you put it between two cookies! I may need to whip up a batch of my healthier chocolate chip cookies to make these.

      that chocolate hummus, though! I could picture myself using my finger as the dipper, too... or maybe some pretzels or graham cracker sticks... the possibilities are endless!

      Weird? No. Delicious? Heck to the YES. It's amazing how a few years n the blogging community can totally desensitize you to any sort of strange food combo. I'd definitely be eating this straight from the bowl with a spoon.

      Yummy! Chick peas are quite impressive with all the different flavors they can take on. My fav poolside treat was the Spongebob Popsicle. Maybe you can recreate those next? πŸ˜‰
