💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For an even doughier texture, bake for less time (only 10-11 minutes) and let cool thoroughly.
  • The cookies freeze well – simply thaw in portions or bake them lightly.
  • You can also use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter, depending on your taste.
  • Ideal as a pre-workout snack – thanks to plant-based protein and a matcha kick!
Can I make the cookies without a food processor?

Yes, you can also use a high-powered blender or immersion blender. It's important that the mixture is completely smooth—otherwise, you'll taste too much of the chickpeas.
Are the cookies also suitable for children?

Absolutely! Our Ceremonial Matcha contains a gentle caffeine, but in small amounts. For children, you can halve the amount of matcha or replace it with cinnamon – this keeps it mild and delicious.
How long do the cookies last?

They keep in the refrigerator if packed airtight3–4 daysYou can also freeze them and thaw them when needed – they'll stay super moist.
Why matcha instead of vanilla or cocoa?

Matcha not only adds color, but also provides valuable antioxidants, L-theanine, and a gentle focus effect—perfect as a healthy energy boost in cookie format.
Can I use white sugar instead of maple syrup?

In theory, yes—but maple syrup makes the mixture creamier and adds a slightly caramel flavor. For the best consistency and a naturally sweet taste, we recommend sticking with maple syrup.
