- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar preferably dark
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ½ tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter not hot
- 1 to 2 teaspoons water
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add almond flour, brown sugar, cornstarch, baking soda and salt into a small bowl and stir well with a spoon to combine.
- Stir in the melted coconut oil or butter, water, and vanilla extract until a smooth dough forms. Start by adding 1 teaspoon of water; if the dough appears too firm, mix in an additional teaspoon of water until it reaches the soft cookie dough consistency.Stir in 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (save remaining for later).

- Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until the edges are deep golden in color.
- Remove from oven and place pan on a wire rack, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top and let cool until warm.

Notes
Use super fine almond flour and not meal.
Use liquid coconut oil – Melt coconut oil in the microwave until liquid and leave aside until it has cooled to lukewarm, before making dough.
Dark brown sugar – It gives that perfect color and deep molasses taste.
