Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons matcha powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups vegan butter
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups unsweetened apple sauce
• 0.5 cups dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the vegan butter until creamy.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the butter and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and unsweetened apple sauce until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

If using, gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy the cookies once they are cool, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
