"LIGHT" CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES

These are so I can feel OK with my toddler son eating them. Obviously, you could omit the chocolate chips and they'd be even better... but I didn't want to go crazy. I use "Earth Balance" margarine and "Enjoy Life" chocolate chips because they're dairy-free. I also have substituted 1/2 a cup of the whole wheat flour with garbanzo bean flour.

Time 21m

Yield 18 medium-sized cookies, 18-22 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups oats (not instant)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine margarine, sugar, egg, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until creamy and smooth. I microwave the margarine for about 30 seconds to soften.
  • Add flour and baking powder and stir until completely combined.
  • Add oats and then chocolate chips.
  • Spoon onto greased cookie sheets with a soup spoon with about an inch between each cookie.
  • Bake at 350 F for 11 minutes. I used two sheets in the oven at once, and if you do that, switch the bottom sheet with the top sheet after about 5 minutes and then continue cookie.
  • Let cool.
