Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together white whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in oats.
Beat together butter and almond butter with an electric mixer. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add pure maple syrup, egg and vanilla. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Mix in dry ingredients on low speed.
Stir in chocolate chips. Cover and chill dough for 2 hours.
Scoop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls and place on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra chocolate chips into the top of each cookie, if desired.
Bake for 8-11 minutes, until centers are just set. Be careful not to overbake. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cookies are best stored in the freezer after the first day. They soften up quite a bit on the second day. Cookies will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
