How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get to the fun part—making these cookies!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly:
- Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not too hot, as it can cook the other ingredients.
- For a more intense matcha flavor, feel free to add an extra teaspoon of matcha powder.
- Experiment with different vegan chocolate chips or even add nuts for a delightful crunch!
- Keep an eye on the cookies while they bake; every oven is different, and you want them to be just right!
