eat your beans cookies

Yes, these cookies have a can of garbonzo beans (aka chickpeas) in them.

And yes, they are pretty darn tasty.

Kimi who will turn her nose up at cakes, candybars, and other desserts with or without chocolate ate a lot of these and even wanted them for breakfast. I almost said yes.

I took this from Trainer Mama's blog because she rocks.

I also added 1 tsp. cinnamon.

It makes about 4 dozen cookies.
