Whisk together dry ingredients
Add in softened butter, syrup, and vanilla and mix with a hand mixer until well combined
Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping
Line the bottom of an 8" round pan with parchment paper (I traced the pan then cut), and spray with nonstick avocado or coconut oil spray
Bake at 350 for 16 min
Allow to cool completely, about an hour, before removing from pan. I found placing in the fridge for the later 20-30 min helped
Use a butter knife to seperate cookie from the edges, then invert the cookie cake onto a plate to remove without breaking
Optionally, top with frosting and more chocolate chips
Slice and enjoy!
