I love the mint chocolate combination, it is one of my favorite ways to eat chocolate. Add in matcha, and you have a wonderful, deep array of flavors. I created these Matcha Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies (vegan) to embrace the chocolate mint combination. The green from the matcha reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I love matcha! For more yummy matcha recipes try my cinnamon matcha latte or my matcha chia pudding.

Recipe FAQ
Yes! If you are not a fan of mint feel free to leave it out. Then these will be regular matcha chocolate chip cookies and just as delicious.
Recipe Pro-Tips
This dough will be very sticky as it is not like regular cookie dough. This is okay! Just work quickly with wet hands or use an ice cream scoop. Do not add more flour.
For the best tasting cookie use a good quality matcha. I like this brand of culinary matcha, use code avocadoskillet for 20% off.

These were SO GOOD! I couldn’t even tell they were gluten free - the perfect balance of almond & oat flour! Also not overly sweet, the touch of mint is perfect as well 😊
