In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices. Whisk to remove any lumps. Blend the cooked chickpeas with the oil until completely smooth. Add honey and vanilla, then blend again to combine. Transfer the chickpea mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the egg (or flax egg) and mix until you get a slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more rice flour. Stir in the chocolate pieces and knead to distribute them evenly. Shape the dough into balls slightly smaller than a golf ball and flatten them with your hands to form cookies.
