Soft and Chewy Matcha Cookies (Gluten-Free!)
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- ⅓ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup chopped pistachios
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed avocado, melted coconut oil (or butter), coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add the matcha, almond flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Gently mix in the chopped pistachios. The dough should be thick and scoopable.
- Scoop the dough onto your prepared baking sheet (about 1–1.5 tablespoons per cookie). Flatten the tops slightly with your fingers or a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look soft but not wet.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack. They firm up as they cool.
