Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl combine almond flout, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine, set aside.
2. In a large bowl cream together melted butter and coconut palm sugar using an electric mixer. Beat for 1-2 minutes until slightly frothy. Add egg yolk, full egg, and vanilla, mix until well combined.
3. Combine reserved almond flout with wet ingredients. Stir well. Add chocolate chips and stir well to combine.
