2 baking sheet pans

Ingredients

½ cup vegan butter softened
½ cup organic cane sugar or granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar packed
1 large egg
1½ tablespoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⅓ cup gluten-free all purpose flour with xanthan gum I use Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips

Topping (optional)

Flaky salt

Instructions

Place the softened butter and two types of sugar in a large bowl or a stand mixer. Beat for about 1 minute or until pale and creamy.
Add in the egg, matcha powder and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Add in the all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix well.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Chill the dough for at least 1 hour (up to 3 days) in the fridge, covered tightly.
Once you take the dough out of the fridge, leave out on the counter for 10-20 minutes or until soft enough to be scooped. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Scoop the dough using a 3 tablespoon scoop and arrange on a lined baking sheet pan, leaving 2 inches apart.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the edges slightly brown. They continue to harden as they cool.
Optional: sprinkle with flaky salt.
