"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.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies. Look for chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming too chewy.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
These light chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed.
