Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and optional chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as these cookies won't spread as much as traditional ones.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
