Matcha Green TeaCookies

Ingredients

• ⅔ cup of melted coconut oil
• 2 large eggs
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ½ tbsp matcha powder

Instructions

1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt, fresh ground cardamom in a large bowl.
2. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the coconut, sugar, melted coconut oil, eggs and vanilla extract.
3. Mix the matcha powder with 1 or 2 tablespoons of water until a thin paste forms.
4. Take all of the wet ingredients and mix them into the dry ingredients until just combined.
5. Squish the cookies into balls of dough and space them two inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Put in the fridge for 10 minutes.
7. Set the oven to 350F.
8. Bake the cookies for around 10 minutes. The cookies will be done when the bottom of them turn a light brown and they are springy to touch.
