Description
Fun and pretty, matcha green tea cookies that are easy to whip up with 8 ingredients for a simple but yummy sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour (140 g)
- ¼ cup cornstarch (30 g)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil (35 g)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (70 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips (50 g)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the almond flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt and matcha powder to a bowl and mix until well combined. Use a whisk or fork to break up any clumps of flour or matcha and make sure everything is well incorporated.
- Add in the oil, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix well until you get a moldable dough.
- Use a small cookie scoop to create 12 cookies on the baking tray. Flatten each cookie with your hands.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes then let cool on the pan for 20-30 minutes to firm.
Notes
Cornstarch can be substituted with tapioca flour/starch or arrowroot starch.
Let cookies cool completely before storing. Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the fridge for 1 week or freeze for up to 4 months. They’ll get softer the longer they’re stored but they’re still yummy!
