In a bowl, mix together 1 cup coconut sugar and 1/2 cup avocado oil until well combined.

Spoon 1 1/2 cups oat flour into a measuring cup without packing it down, then add it to the mixture, stirring to coat the flour with the oil.

Stir until the mixture resembles biscuit dough and is well hydrated.

Add 1/4 cup dairy-free milk, 1/4 cup arrowroot powder, 1 pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the dough, stirring to combine.

Stir the dough until it thickens, ensuring the oats are well hydrated.

Fold in 1 cup of dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough, rolling it into balls and flattening them slightly for uniformity.

Optionally, sprinkle flaky salt on top or add extra chocolate chips for presentation before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the cookies for 10 minutes.

Let the cookies cool for at least 15 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a plate.
