Equipment

  • 1 Glass Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 Cup Vegan Butter
  • 2 Flax Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tablespoon Matcha Powder
  • 1 Cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Cream together the butter and the sugars until fully combined and no clumps remain.
  • Add the flax eggs and vanilla, and cream together until smooth.
  • Add the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt and stir until a thick cookie dough is formed.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips into the cookie dough batter
  • Refrigerate the dough for 2-4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the cookie dough from the fridge.
  • Using a cookie scoop or a measuring spoon, spoon out the cookies and roll into balls. Place them onto a baking sheet spaced 1-2 inches apart and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking pan before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • The chill time is important! Chilling the cookie dough relaxes the gluten allowing the cookies to taste more cake-like and spread less.
  • The cookies will spread a little but not much. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet
  • Don't over-mix. The texture of the cookies will be affected if you over-mix the dough! Only mix until the last specks of flour are gone, then use a spoon to fold in the cookie pieces and chocolate chips.
