1/4 cup coconut oil NOT melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup tapioca flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease the pan with coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, add all your dry ingredients except the chocolate chips. Stir with wooden spoon.
