Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, beat together the nut butter, syrup, flax egg, sugar, and vanilla. Once smooth, stir in the flour, oats, chocolate chips, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Scoop the dough onto the baking sheet. Gently flatten and place in the oven. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaked salt if desired. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
