In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the okara, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

If desired, fold in the chocolate chips to the cookie dough for an extra burst of sweetness.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
