Prep a surface to form your cookies by laying parchment paper on the countertop or on a large cookie sheet.
Add almond butter, coconut oil, sugar, almond milk, and cocoa powder to a heavy-bottomed medium-sized saucepan.
Turn the heat to medium and stir frequently. Once it comes to a rolling boil, set a timer for 1 minute and stir constantly. (Be sure that you boil it for a full minute. If you are at a higher elevation, boil it for an extra 30-60 seconds.)
Remove from heat and add vanilla and salt, stir well. Then add 1 cup of the oats, raisins, chia seeds, and flax seeds and mix well. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cup of whole oats and stir again until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop up about 1 tablespoon of cookie dough and place it on the parchment paper. You can leave them in mounds or gently press them down on the tops with the back of a spoon to make them flatter.
Allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes to set.
Notes
Be sure to boil the syrup for at least 1 minute. This ensures that your cookies will set properly.
Work quickly to shape the cookies. Once the mixture cools, it will be too firm to form into shape.
