– ¼ cup maple syrup
– 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft cookie dough forms.
5. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
