  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. If you are adding any optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts, you can stir them into the dry ingredients now.
  4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball with the back of a spoon or your palm.
