How to Prepare The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F (In my oven, I put them in a cold oven for 15 minutes and I loved them! Try them both ways to see your preference).
Mix ingredients in the order listed, stirring the dry ingredients together before adding the wet.
Use a cookie scooper or spoon and evenly space the cookies on the cookie sheet. These cookies don't spread much, so smash them down to the desired size.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

Notes

Do not refrigerate this dough unless you are making ice cream with it since it will yield a slightly tough texture. Oat flour: I like to take whole oats and grind them in my Vitamix, but you can buy it at the grocery store or online already ground. If you need to replace a flour, feel free to email me on my blog.
