Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free blend

- ¼ teaspoon salt because cookies without salt are sad
- ½ cup coconut oil or vegan butter melted
- ½ cup brown sugar adds that caramel-like chew

- In another bowl, mix melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Step 2: Combine & Add Chocolate
