Matcha crinkle cookies

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside – and really green 💚

These Matcha Crinkle Cookies are the perfect little treat: crispy edges, a soft center, and an intense green color that makes them a real eye-catcher. Our high-quality ceremonial matcha not only gives them their vibrant appearance but also lends the cookies a pleasantly delicate, slightly bitter note that harmonizes beautifully with the sweetness of the powdered sugar.

Some cookies are just prettier than others - and these little crinkle treasures are definitely one of them. The typical cracks on the surface arise during baking due to the contrast between moist dough and a generous layer of powdered sugar. And the best thing: The green color doesn't come from food coloring - but from ours Ceremonial Matcha, which gives the cookies a fresh, delicate aroma.

The recipe is completely vegan, sure to succeed and perfect if you want to impress guests or simply give yourself a special treat. With just a few ingredients and without much effort, small highlights are created for every cookie lover.

🧑‍🍳 Here's how – step by step

1. Preheat oven Oven on 170 °C top/bottom heat Preheat. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl – this will later become the “sugar blanket”.

2.Mix liquid ingredients In a large bowl, stir together sugar, coconut oil, non-dairy milk and vanilla until smooth.

3.Sift in dry ingredients Add the flour, matcha, baking powder and salt to the mixture through a fine sieve and mix with a spoon to form a firm dough. The dough is tough but easy to shape.

4.Form dough balls & roll From the dough 12 equally sized balls Shape, roll in powdered sugar and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper - leave some space!

5. Bake & to cool Cookies for 12 minutes Bake. After that, absolutely let cool on the baking tray – they harden as they cool.

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For more intense color: use Ceremonial Grade Matcha, not cheap cooking quality. Our organic matcha takes color & taste to a new level.
  • You can also let the dough rest in the fridge overnight - this intensifies the aroma.
  • The cookies stay fresh and soft in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
Can I also bake the cookies gluten-free?

Yes! Simply use a gluten-free flour mixture (e.g. rice flour, corn starch and tapioca) and make sure you use a gluten-free baking powder.
Does it really have to be Ceremonial Matcha?

Yes, if you want flavor AND color! Ceremonial Grade is finely ground, has a mild aroma and provides the lush green color. Cheap cooking matcha is often bitter and colorless after baking.
Why are the cookies soft after baking?

This is intentional! Crinkle cookies are soft and chewy on the inside. They harden a little as they cool, but remain nice and soft - perfect!
Can I use less sugar?

You can reduce the sugar in the dough by about 20-30%. But note: The typical “crinkle” surface is created by the sugar contrast – it doesn’t work without it.
What is the best way to store cookies?

They will keep for 4-5 days in a cookie jar or jar with a lid. For longer periods, you can also freeze them and defrost them in portions.
