Almond Flour Matcha Cookies Vegan Gluten Free

Matcha cookies are simple buttery plant-based cookies, a bit like my Almond Croissant Cookies or Almond Flour Banana Cookies but they are made with matcha powder to give them a striking green color and all the nutrient goodness of matcha. These healthy vegan Matcha cookies are the easiest cookies to make with only 6 ingredients, no flax eggs, and no vegan butter needed!

Ingredients and Substitutions

All you need to make a simple Matcha cookie recipe with almond flour are:

Almond Flour – Use ultra-fine almond flour, not almond meal. In fact, almond meal is coarser and darker in color. It makes dry, gritty cookies, so I don’t recommend this option. This recipe doesn’t work with coconut, but you can use oat flour instead of almond flour. This option provides the same texture. However, I didn’t try all-purpose flour with this recipe. It may work but create a tougher texture. Maple Syrup or any plant-based refined sugar-free sweetener you love like Monk fruit syrup, agave syrup, or brown rice syrup. Vanilla Extract – optional Matcha Green Tea Powder – You can really play with the amount of powder based on your taste. Some people love the intense Matcha flavor in their cookies, and others prefer a light touch. Baking Powder or baking soda. Coconut Oil – You can use refined coconut oil to avoid the coconut flavor in your cookies.

How To Make Almond Flour Matcha Cookies

All you need are wholesome plant-based ingredients and 15 minutes.

Decorating

Matcha flavor goes very well with white chocolate. However, most store-bought white chocolate brands are not vegan and contain butter or milk. Instead, you can make a lovely vegan white chocolate at home by melting 1/4 cup cocoa butter. Then, stir in 1/3 cup of powdered sweetened and 1 tablespoon of cashew butter. Then decorate your vegan, gluten-free Matcha cookies with a drizzle of homemade vegan white chocolate if desired.

Storage Instructions

These vegan Matcha cookies can be stored for up to 5 days in an airtight box in the fridge. You will be noticed that the cookies get a bit more sticky with time, and that’s normal. You can also freeze these almond flour Matcha cookies in Ziploc bags and thaw them at room temperature 3 hours before eating.

How Do Matcha Cookies Taste?

These cookies are entirely made of almond flour, so they obviously have a strong almond flavor and a good Matcha green tea flavor. They are soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies delicious with a cup of Matcha latte or my Matcha smoothie recipe.
