Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, blend coconut butter with agave syrup until creamy, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Gradually blend in oat flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until a sticky dough forms.
  2. If the dough feels too sticky, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once chilled, flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to approximately 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to shape your cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the Matcha Sugar Cookies for about 10 minutes, until the edges appear set and the centers remain slightly soft.
  4. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely to achieve the ideal chewy texture.
  5. For a fun twist, mix matcha yogurt or create a glaze and spread or drizzle it over your cooled cookies.

Notes

Use high-quality culinary-grade matcha for best flavor. If your dough is too sticky, chilling it will help manage the consistency. Adjust matcha in frosting for bolder taste, and feel free to add flavors like lemon zest or shredded coconut for variety.
