In a large bowl with a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cread non-dairy butter and brown sugar until well combined and fluffy.
8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix until well combined. The mixture will look broken, here.
5 tablespoon Non-Dairy Milk, 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Now, add flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the bowl. Mix until just combined. (See note)
1 ⅔ Cup All-Purpose Flour, ½ Cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, ¾ teaspoon Baking Powder, ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
Finally, add chocolate chips and coconut flakes and mix until distributed.
1 Cup Chocolate Chips, ¾ Cup Unsweetened Flaked Coconut
Preheat the oven to 350* F. Line a baking tray with parchment.
Once the oven is preheated, use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop mounds of dough onto the baking sheet. Be sure to leave 3 inches of space between each cookie. I baked 6 cookies at a time. (See note)
Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with flakey sea salt, if desired.
Flakey Sea Salt (Optional)
Bake in a 350* oven for 13-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
