Biscuits with chickpea and coconut flour



I like testing new kind of flours...as chickpea flour.
Even if it isn't really new.
It was already used by our grandmothers to make panelle, panisse, farinate...very gorgeous street food.

I tried making biscuits, following the recipe aside the chickpea flour pack, but changing some parts so to create my version.
I can assure that every person has tasted it, has liked it a lot and  has been surprised that were made with chickpea flour.

Ingredients:
250 g  chickpea flour
150 ml sunflower oil
100 g water
30 + 20 g coconut flour
30 g hazelnuts cut in two
125 g sugar fruit
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Zest and juice of half lemon

I pour chickpea flour in a pan to make it lightly golden, stiring continuously for ten minutes. 
After toasted , I pour it in a bowl  and I add the coconut flour, the hazelnuts, the sugar fruit, the cinnamon and the zest of lemon. 
Finally I add to dry ingredients , the water and the oil previously mixed. 
I let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Then I roll it out and with a round cookies cutter I make the biscuits. 
I put on a pan covered by greaseproof paper and I dust it with coconut flour.
In the oven, at 180°, for 15 minutes so to keep them still soft inside.

Finally they became an agreeable office break for my husband and his colleagues...
Each one eating my cookies...what a satisfaction indeed!
