Description
These vegan and gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are PERFECT. Extra chocolate chips and flaky salt take these tender, delicious cookies to the next level. We suggest making a double batch!

Notes
*Check out this tutorial on making flax eggs
Note that the recipe also contains both almond butter and almond flour. If you are allergic to tree nuts, you can sub the almond butter with another nut or seed butter (peanut would be my first choice, but sunflower seed butter should also work). A substitute for almond flour is a bit trickier. We'd suggest replacing it with more oat flour, but the texture may not be quite as soft and fluffy.
