Matcha Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies

You can dip them in milk, sandwich them with ice cream, stack them like a cake, or just simply devour the dough itself.

Can you guess what we’re talking about? It’s chocolate chip cookies of course!

Imagine a batch of toasty cookies fresh from the oven, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma. That certainly sounds drool worthy to us.

Matcha Chocolate Chips Cookies

• Preparation: 10 minutes
• Baking: 12 minutes
• Total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• ¼ tsp baking soda (substitute with 1 tsp tapioca flour if need be)
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp Matcha powder
• 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 1 egg (for vegans, substitute the egg with ¼ cup water and arrowroot at a 1:1 ratio)
• 3 tbsp agave nectar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup dairy free cacao nibs, or your favorite dark chocolate! We used Trader Joes chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil
2. Mix matcha, almond flour, baking soda + salt in a large bowl until combined
3. Mix in coconut oil, egg, agave nectar + vanilla extract by hand as electric mixers can get too messy & the consistency can come out slightly different
4. Mix the chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed
5. Arrange, evenly apart, spoon-sized round balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes and let your cookies cool before enjoying or storing*

*Store in a closed container. The cookies will last for about 5-7 days refrigerated and about 3-4 days in open air.

The cookies are the perfect treat to share with your loved ones. Enjoy these little sweetnesses!
