Step 1

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

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the oats until they become the texture of coarse flour.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Step 4

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for one minute. Add in the sugars and continue mixing for an additional 5-6 minutes. Mixture will become light and fluffy.

Step 5

Reduce speed to low and add in eggs; mixing until combined. Add in vanilla and beat on medium speed for an additional minute. Reduce speed to low and gradually add in the dry ingredients until they are fully incorporated. Turn the speed back up to medium and mix for 1-2 minutes. Use a wooded spoon to stir in chocolate chunks.

Step 6

Use a medium cookie scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove cookies from oven and place pan on a cooking rack. Sprinkle each cookie with a bit of sea salt and allow cookies to cool completely.
