- 1 cup oat flour

- 1 cup mini chocolate chips vegan

- Slowly fold in the oat flour and baking soda with a rubber spatula until no large flour clumps remain.1 cup oat flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Add the mini chocolate chips to the bowl and mix into the batter.1 cup mini chocolate chips
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the dough into cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean up. Leave at least 3 inches in between each cookie scoop so they have room to spread a little. Bake the cookies in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes until the edges are just beginning to brown. You want the cookies to be slightly under-baked before taking them out of the oven because they will make more even after they come out of the oven.
- For perfectly round cookies, use the edge of a fork to slide the edges of the cookies towards the center while they are still warm. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top while the cookies are still warm if desired and then let them cool before moving them to a rack to cool completely.
