Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, and collagen peptides (if using).
In a small bowl, cream together the coconut sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. If you have a hand mixer, use it; otherwise, just mix well with a spoon.
Pour contents from the small bowl (wet ingredients) into the medium bowl (with the dry ingredients). The dough will be thick.
Mix to ensure everything is coated well, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Do not skip this step!
While the dough is chilling, preheat oven to 375.
Remove bowl from the refrigerator, and add the egg (or flax egg) and baking soda to the dough.
Next, fold in the chocolate chips and the pomegranates.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop dough and form cookies.
Depending on the size of your cookies, you will get 16-18 cookies.
Bake for 12-13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies settle before eating!
The key with these cookies is to slightly undercook them, so that they are nice and crispy on the outside and SUPER CHEWY on the inside.
Sprinkle sea salt flakes on top. Enjoy!
