Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup oat flour, 2 tablespoons coconut sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients together.

In a separate bowl, add 1/3 cup egg whites, 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients together.

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until you achieve a cookie batter consistency.

Fold in 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of cookie batter onto the baking sheet, forming circular cookies. Repeat until all batter is used, creating 12 cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown.
