OATMEAL CHOCOLATE COOKIES
We definitely perfected these oatmeal chocolate cookies! This cookie has a wonderful chewy texture from the oats and is packed with chocolate. I recommend eating them warm out of the oven as you will get warm melted chocolate in every bite.

Notes
- Gluten-Free: These oatmeal chocolate cookies are gluten-free! Just use gluten-free rolled oats in this recipe.
- Vegan Option: You can make these oatmeal chocolate cookies vegan! To do this, substitute the egg for a chia egg. To make a chia egg, combine 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of water. Then, let it sit for 10-15 minutes or until it thickens and has a gel-like consistency. After that, it is ready to be added to the recipe. Or, you can make a flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoons of water.
