Green Tea Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipes

GREEN TEA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF (~190ºC). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
• Make a flax egg. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of golden flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water. Once it is mixed well, set it aside for about 10 minutes. The flax egg will turn into a gooey texture. If you are not making vegan cookies, just whisk a large egg.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix the brown rice flour, green tea matcha powder, baking powder, and salt together.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar, butter spread, applesauce, and flax egg until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture with the wet ingredients. I usually add the flour in three batches, mixing the ingredients in between batches.
• Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Freeze the cookie dough for 30 minutes so that it is easier to handle and shape on top of the baking sheets.
• Shape a heaping tablespoon of dough into a ball, and flatten it into a circular shape on the baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the dough.
• Bake the cookies for about 14-16 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies start to brown.
• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before eating.
• Store the cookies in an air-tight container. If there are still any leftovers after two days, I suggest microwaving the cookies for about 10 to 15 seconds before eating. This softens the cookie and melts the chocolate chips again.

MATCHA GREEN TEA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until blended; beat in vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy.
• Mix flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is just blended; fold in chocolate chips using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough, 1 heaping tablespoon per cookie, onto the prepared baking sheet 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

GREEN TEA SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a work surface and dust with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture is lighter in color, about 2 minutes more.
• Mix flour, green tea powder, and salt together in a separate bowl; gradually add to creamed butter mixture, beating on low speed until dough sticks together. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the floured parchment paper; cut into 2-inch cookies or bars. Roll remaining dough and cut into more cookies until all the dough is used. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Carefully transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar over each cookie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm and barely starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
