How much matcha should I use for these cookies?

The recipe suggests 3/4 to 1 teaspoon of matcha. Adjust within this range based on your preference for a stronger or milder matcha flavor in your cookies.

Why is it important to chill the cookie dough for an hour?

Chilling the dough allows the vegan butter to firm up, making the dough easier to roll out and preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking, ensuring they hold their desired shape.

Can I use regular butter instead of vegan butter in this recipe?

This recipe is specifically developed for vegan ingredients. While regular butter could be substituted, it would no longer be a vegan recipe and the texture might vary from the intended result.

How can I tell when the matcha sugar cookies are perfectly baked?

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes at 350 degreesF. They should be lightly set and not overly browned, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.

How should I store leftover Matcha Sugar Cookies?

Once decorated and cooled, store these matcha sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for several days to maintain their freshness and soft texture.

How to Prepare Matcha Sugar Cookies [Vegan]

In a medium-large bowl, add the vegan butter and granulated sugar. You can use a stand-mixer or hand mixer if preferred. Cream together, then stir in the oat milk and vanilla extract.
In a different bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
Transfer the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine. Use your hands if needed. The dough will be dry, but it should hold together when pressed. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a clean surface and add a small amount of flour. Place the cookie dough on the parchment paper and roll out the dough to approximately ¼ inch thick. Cover and transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cookies from the refrigerator while the oven preheats.
Cut the dough into your desired shape. You should get about 24 cookies, depending on the size of your cookie cutter. Gently place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F. Let them cool completely before decorating them with icing.
To prepare the icing: Whisk the icing sugar, oat milk and vanilla extract together in a bowl.
Decorate the cookies as desired. Enjoy!
