Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with a parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a small sauce pan on low heat. Meanwhile, put the coconut sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter in and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Break the egg in and add the vanilla. Mix until the mixture is well blended.
Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips.
Use a tablespoon to place dollops of the mixture on the lined baking sheets, leaving 2″ (4 cm) space between them – the cookies really spread out!
Put the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are just turning golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a cooling rack before eating or storing.
