Servings: persons

1/2 cup canned chick-peas, drained
2 tablespoons chestnut honey
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts, minced
unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (from a 17 1/4-ounce package)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
confectioners' sugar, to taste

1
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F In a food processor or blender, puree the chickpeas with the honey, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the pine nuts.
2
On a lightly floured work surface, lay out the puff pastry sheets. Using a 11/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out 64 rounds. Place a teaspoonful of filling in the center of half of the rounds. Sandwich with remaining rounds.
3
Using your fingers, gently press the edges of the rounds together to seal in the filling (as cookies bake, parts of the edges will open). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4
Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using the tines of a fork, prick the tops. Brush tops with the egg and bake until golden, about 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
