Gluten Free Low Carb Chocolate Chunk Cookies, bean flour

I've been working on recipes for my new Gluten Free Low Carb diet and wanted to make really good cookies that are high in protein, lower in carbs, inexpensive and healthy!

I  like the affordability and high protein of bean flour and hoped that it would make a good cookie.
This is not a tasty dough that you can munch on raw, but the cookies are wonderful.  No bean flavor at all after they bake.  I also like that they are lower in fat and calories than cookies made with just almond flour.

Makes 20 cookies

• 1 cup almond or pecan meal, not flour-  I grind mine in a coffee mill
• 1 cup gluten free garbanzo bean flour

2. In a bowl whisk the dry ingredients together.
3. In the large bowl of your mixer, cream together the butter and sugars, scraping down the sides often. Add the egg and beat well, scraping down again often.  Add the molasses and vanilla and stir.

5. Add in the chocolate and nuts and stir.
