How to Make Light Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Microwave Earth Balance margarine for 30 seconds to soften.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  3. Add cinnamon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, garbanzo bean flour, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in rolled oats and Enjoy Life chocolate chips.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto greased baking sheets, leaving about an inch between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until golden brown. If baking two sheets simultaneously, switch their positions halfway through baking.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
