A Better-For-You Chocolate Chip + Sea Salt Cookie Recipe

Chocolate and salt? You true foodies have never balked at the uncommon combo, have you?

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the margarine, sugars, and vanilla, and cream together with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape the bottom of the bowl and mix again to ensure that all the ingredients are combined, about 30 seconds more.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy milk and oil. Slowly add the soy milk mixture to the sugar mixture, and mix to combine.

4. In another separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the oats and chocolate chips. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

5. Scoop the dough onto the baking sheets with a spring-loaded ice cream scoop. Use a 2-ounce scoop for large cookies and a 1-ounce scoop for small. Leave 2 to 3 inches between each cookie and gently pat them down with your fingertips.

6. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges of the cookies begin to brown.
