When a cookbook author uses a headnote to tell you to bookmark a page, I\u2019ve learned to do it. That\u2019s exactly how I found myself baking these brilliant Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies. Emma Zimmerman enthusiastically included the recipe in her new cookbook, The Miller\u2019s Daughter: Unusual Flours & Heritage Grains: Stories and Recipes from Hayden Flour Mills<\/em><\/a>. The cookies are made with chickpea flour, tahini, and brown sugar for a brilliant twist on peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. The texture is crisp at the edges and soft-centered with oozy puddles of chocolate throughout.

The Miller\u2019s Daughter<\/h2>\n

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Emma\u2019s new book before it was released. Emma and her father run Hayden Flour Mills<\/a> on the outskirts of rural Phoenix, Arizona where they champion rare, near-extinct heritage flours and ancient grains. If you\u2019ve only ever baked with all-purpose white flour, exploring the world of grains and flours like the ones Emma and her father grow and mill can be a complete game-changer. Creatively, it opens up a world of flavor and depth. Environmentally, growing these grains improves crop diversification and reduces mono crops. And, eating a diverse range of grains and pulses helps to keep your microbiome happy. So, big wins on many fronts. <\/p>\n

The Miller\u2019s Daughter cookbook has chapters on: White Sonora, Heritage Bread Wheat, Farro, Barley, Einkorn, Corn, Durum, Chickpeas, Oats, and Rye.

We were heading east last month with the Airstream and my hope was that maybe we could visit Emma and the mill as we would be in the general vicinity of Phoenix. But the winds were SO BAD the whole time we were towing that we had to drive extra early in the mornings when the winds were calm and stayed parked as much as possible aside from that. It made \u201cwinging-it\u201d with our schedule difficult. And although I didn\u2019t get to congratulate Emma in person, she was kind enough to send me the book which arrived shortly after we got home. If you love baking and cooking with unusual flours, whole grains, and the like as much as I do, I suspect you\u2019ll love this book. The story of how their mill came to be is an inspiration for anyone thinking about starting a passion-driven business in the food space. Also, Emma\u2019s dress game is exceptionally strong.

Chickpea Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/h2>\n

These cookies sit in the chickpea chapter, and rival some of the best chocolate chip cookies I\u2019ve had. They\u2019re sophisticated on the flavor front, and when baked to golden-edged perfection, the texture is a journey in itself. You get a bit of snap at the edges once the cookies have cooled, and dense chewiness as you work toward the center of the cookie. If you love a good chocolate chip cookie, I have to second Emma\u2019s sentiment and encourage you to give these a go.
