- Scoop dough into balls about 2 tablespoons in size (20-24 cookies depending on your size) and place on baking sheet about 2” apart as they will spread.

Notes
- If you are gluten-intolerant, make sure to look for gluten-free rolled oats and oat flour, as well as gluten-free brewer’s yeast.
- If you want to skip the brewer’s yeast, increase the ground flaxseed by 1 tablespoon.
- Substitutions:
- Flour: Flour: Regular flour will work here. The only other 1:1 blend I tried was Cup for Cup. While good, I prefer Bob's. I have not tested other gluten-free flour blends, but I bet they'll work just fine!
- Butter: While I haven't tested this with vegan butter or coconut oil, I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine.
- Eggs: I have not tested an egg-free option, but a flax egg may work. If you try it, let us know in the comments below!
- Sugar: I really love the blend of coconut sugar and beet sugar, but you can sub brown sugar or maple sugar for the coconut sugar, and white sugar for beet sugar. Alternatively, you can try all coconut sugar but they won't spread as much. You can even experiment reducing the amount of sugar as desired, noting that it will change the recipe slightly.
