Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Pour 1.5 cups of oats into a blender, and process them into a fine flour. (Don't take the blender lid off right away-- set the blender aside while the flour settles.)
In a large bowl combine the ground flax seeds with the water, and stir well to mix. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Add in the coconut oil, coconut sugar, debittered brewer's yeast, vanilla, baking soda, and salt, and stir again until well combined.
Gradually stir in the oat flour until a dough is formed, then fold in the 1 cup of oats and dark chocolate chips.
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the lined baking sheet, then use your fingers or a back of the spoon to flatten the cookies.
Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
At 10 minutes your cookies will be crisp around the edges but nice and soft in the center (they’ll become more crispy the longer you bake them). Let the cookies cool before serving.
