*Granulated white sugar works better than coconut sugar or an alternative sweetener like stevia.
**All purpose flour works bestor wheat. You can use a gluten free one-to-one flour alternative or oat flour, but it will affect the texture. If using a gluten free flour, you may need to add ½-1 Tbsp more flour to get the dough to hold.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Mix melted butter & sugar until creamed. Mix in egg and vanilla.
Stir in flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Fold in chocolate chips.
Shape dough into flat circle(s). (I like to separate dough into 2 smaller cookies. You can also bake as 1 larger cookie, just bake for a bit longer.)
Place in the center of a prepared cookie sheet.
Bake 10-12 minutes.
