Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup + 1 tablespoon oat flour 110g, to make homemade, just blend raw rolled oats on high until it becomes a fine meal.
¾ cup all-purpose flour 110g
1.5 tablespoons matcha 9g
½ teaspoon baking soda 3g
¼ teaspoon salt 2g

Wet Ingredients

⅓ cup vegan butter 75g, melted
½ cup light brown sugar 110g, firmly packed
2 tablespoons maple syrup 30g
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4.2g
2 tablespoons plant-based milk 30g, such as oat or almond milk
⅓ cup vegan white chocolate chips 65g

Instructions

In a medium bowl, sift oat flour, all-purpose flour, matcha, and baking soda, and stir to combine. Mix in salt. Set aside.
Gently melt vegan butter, being careful not to overheat.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar for 2–3 minutes until smooth, glossy, and slightly thickened. Whisk in maple syrup, vanilla, and milk.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Fold in ⅓ cup white chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix.
Cover and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie using an ice cream scoop. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
Bake for 10–11 minutes on the middle rack, until the edges are slightly firm. The centers will still look soft when you take them out — they’ll firm up as they cool.
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Matcha: For a balanced flavor, start with 1.5 tablespoons (9g). Prefer a stronger flavor? Increase to 2 tablespoons. For a milder taste, reduce to 1 tablespoon.
