Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set it aside.
In a large bowl, add buckwheat flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
Add in melted coconut oil, peanut butter, and maple syrup.
Stir together to form a sticky cookie dough batter then fold in chocolate chips if used - optional.
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of batter, grease your hand with coconut oil, and roll the batter into a ball.
Place each cookie dough ball onto the prepared baking sheet leaving a thumb space between each ball. The cookies don't expand in the oven, but this makes them easier to remove from the sheet later.
Flatten each cookie dough ball with your hand and bake in the center rack of the oven for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown on the sides.
Cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack 10 minutes before eating.
