Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C), and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a small/medium bowl, whisk together the nut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, and sugar. Pour into the dry ingredients, and stir until a dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to scoop approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough into your hand. Roll the dough betwen your palms to form a smooth ball, and place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

Notes

Be sure they're well-protected from air.Unbaked cookie dough can be frozen, as well. Place rolled cookie dough balls on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes. Then transfer the dough to an airtight container and freeze until ready to bake. Bake from frozen, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
