Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Whisk together hot water and ground flax seeds in a small bowl until smooth. Place 2/3 cup oats in a small blender or food processor and process to a flour consistency.

Beat butter and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in flax mixture and extract. Add ground oats, brown rice flour, garbanzo bean flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix until incorporated. Stir in remaining 2 cups oats, then stir in raisins and morsels. Cover; refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place on baking sheets.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Top each with a pinch of sea salt if desired. Let cool before removing from baking sheets.
