Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine all ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until a wet dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.
Transfer cookie dough to the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This will allow the dough to set.
Using an ice cream scooper, form cookies and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for approximately 18 minutes. (I like to start checking the cookies at 15 minutes). Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before enjoying.
Best served warm with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or apple butter.
