First preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Stir jar of SunButter before measuring. Add SunButter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Mix until combined.
Once combined, add in egg, vanilla extract and baking soda. Stir to combine.
Fold in dark chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan. Place at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just set in the middle.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Cool on pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Stir SunButter before using. The oil separation inside the jar is natural.
Tightly pack light brown sugar.
Coconut sugar can be used instead but yields a slightly more gritty texture. Dark brown sugar can also be used but will make these cookies much darker in color.
The cookie dough should be easily scoop-able and not sticky.
Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to scoop equal sized balls of dough.
Bake until middles of cookies are just barely set.
After baking, handle carefully. These cookies are fragile and will firm up as they cool.
Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 7 days.
