This Edible Cookie Dough by Emani Corcran is simply addicting! We all know eating cookie dough out of the package is a big no-no, but this cookie dough will keep you fueled and satisfied. It’s made from chickpeas, which doesn’t sound dessert-friendly, but I promise I would never steer you wrong. It’s so good that I store it in my fridge for whenever I get a sweet tooth craving. This is the dessert to fool a vegan skeptic—be sure to tell them what’s in it after they tell you how delicious it is.   Credit: Reprinted with permission from Blk + Vegan by Emani Corcran.
