Mix the maple syrup and coconut oil in a medium-sized mixing bowl. The coconut oil should be solid but soft. If it's melted, place it in the fridge for a few minutes to solidify.

Add one egg and the vanilla, then mix until the egg is incorporated.

Add the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until blended. Then stir in your favorite chocolate chips.

Scoop the batter to form balls with either a stainless steel cookie scoop or a spoon. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

The cookies will not spread during baking. If you would like them to have a wider, flatter shape, gently press them with the backside of a spatula immediately after they come out of the oven and are still warm.
