Notes
Coconut oil: You'll want your coconut oil to be solid for this recipe.
If your oil is partially melted, you'll need to up the amount to 1 cup and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
- If your oil is partially melted, you'll need to up the amount to 1 cup and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
- Brown sugar: Light brown sugar or dark brown sugar will work for this recipe.
- Vanilla extract: You can reduce the vanilla to 1 teaspoon if you prefer.
- Flour: I highly recommend weighing the flour. You can also sift or stir the flour to break it up, lightly spoon it into the measuring cup, and level. Avoid packing as too much flour will give you dry and heavy or crumbly cookies.
- Kosher salt: If you're using table salt, you'll only need 1/2 teaspoon.
- Chocolate chips: You can use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks in this recipe.
