• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 3⁄4 cup trans-fat free margarine

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1⁄2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the sugar and margarine with a wooden spoon or on medium speed until smooth. Beat in the egg whites and vanilla, then the chickpeas and the chocolate chips. Add the flour, oats, baking soda and salt, and mix on low speed until a thick dough forms.
3. Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto the baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Press gently with a fork to flatten. Bake until the cookies are golden brown and just set, 11 to 13 minutes; do not overbake. Transfer to a rack to cool.
