Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, matcha, peppermint, baking soda, and vinegar. Once a smooth & sticky batter is formed, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, making roughly 10 cookies. Press the mounds with your finger tips to shape them-- because there are no eggs in this recipe, they won't spread significantly. (You can get your fingertips wet to help prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.)
- Bake the cookies until lightly golden around the edges, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
