Equipment

Cookie sheet

Ingredients

1 tbsp coconut oil, melted (15 g)
1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
drop of vanilla
1/4 cup flour (30 g) gf all purpose if desired
1 tbsp cocoa powder (6 g)
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tbsp chocolate chips (15 g) more to sprinkle tops

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment.
In a mug/bowl, melt coconut oil (I use the microwave), stir in syrup, vanilla. Stir in cocoa powder and mix until smooth and glossy.
In a mug/bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt.
Gradually add dry to wet and stir, stopping as soon as a soft, non-sticky cookie dough forms (you might not need all the dry mix). It should be something between cookie dough and brownie batter (add a pinch more flour or a drop of water to adjust).
Fold in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough on the cookie sheet, shape however you like.
Bake 9 min so they stay fudgy like brownies inside (if making 3 regular sized cookies, bake only 8 min).
Let them cool and firm up a bit. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe will make 2 large cookies and 3 regular sized ones. Bake regular sized cookies only 8 minutes.
I have a feeling you could microwave these cookies on a low setting but I have not tried.
You can also try throwing the whole batter in a ramekin and microwaving it 30 sec - 1 minute. You'll cook a nice skillet cookie thing to share with someone, even if that someone is only you.
