Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup 230g vegan butter, softened
  • - 1 cup 200g granulated sugar
  • - ½ cup 100g light brown sugar, packed
  • - 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water flax eggs
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 2 cups 240g all-purpose flour
  • - 2 tbsp ceremonial-grade matcha powder sifted
  • - 1 tsp baking powder
  • - ½ tsp baking soda
  • - ¼ tsp salt
  • - 1 cup 175g vegan chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk ground flaxseed and water; set aside for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Cream vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in flax eggs and vanilla until combined.
  5. In another bowl, whisk flour, matcha, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet; stir until just combined.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips.
  8. Scoop 1.5-tbsp dough balls onto sheets, 2" apart.
  9. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges set.
  10. Let rest on sheet 5 minutes; transfer to rack to cool.

Notes

Matcha Quality: Use ceremonial‑grade for a smooth, vibrant green color and balanced bitterness—culinary‑grade works in a pinch but may taste a bit more astringent.
Flax Eggs: Let the flaxseed mixture gel for at least 5–10 minutes to mimic the binding properties of eggs.
Dough Chill (Optional): Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes to minimize spread and achieve a thicker cookie.
Even Baking: Rotate baking sheets halfway through to ensure uniform browning.
Underbake Slightly: Pull cookies when edges are set but centers still look soft—they’ll firm up while cooling.
