Sesame-Matcha Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
- scant 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp powdered matcha (unsweetened)
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 and 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (any type: roasted or raw, black or white)
Instructions
- Combine chia seeds and water; set aside.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, salt, soda and matcha), and then add the maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and chia mixture. Combine well and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make balls about the size of large cherries out of chilled dough and place them on the cookie sheet. Flatten gently with the bottom of a glass. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and gently press the seeds in. You should have about 2 dozen cookies; they will be small. (You can make them larger in diameter in you like!)
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Do not over-bake. Cool. (These cookies are best enjoyed fresh!)
