Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and coconut sugar using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid over-mixing the dough.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips using a spatula. If the dough seems too dry, add up to 1 tablespoon of milk to adjust the consistency.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop 1.5-tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
