I like carrying around one USBC to C cable for my devices, but I don't want to carry around a USBC to A cable for other ports. Is there a dongle that takes a USBC cable and converts one end into USBA? I need it to support at least 15W.

First thing's first: all such adapters should be considered evil by default. The only way to make a compliant adapter is with active circuitry in the adapter essentially providing an entirely standalone USB controller interface.

With that being said, here's an adapter which does exactly that. Back when I researched this topic in October I found that the linked adapter is essentially the only one of its kind on the market right now.
