Dry Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (plus extra for topping, if desired)

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3 teaspoons sugar (granulated sugar or coconut sugar)

Wet Ingredients

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. (Dark chocolate may have the most health benefits, but you can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer. If you want these cookies to be gluten-free, use gluten-free flour.)

3. Scoop generous tablespoons full of cookie dough and place them about 1 inch apart on greased or parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. Top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips, if you like. (The number of cookies will depend on how much batter you use for each cookie.)
