  3. Add the melted coconut oil, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle in the baking soda and sea salt, stirring to incorporate evenly.
  5. Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour until a cohesive dark green dough forms.
  6. Scoop out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.

  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
