Preheat oven to 350 F

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, matcha powder and salt. Use a fork to combine. Make sure to use a whisk or to sift your matcha powder so that it doesn't clump before you combine it.

In another bowl, combine maple syrup with vanilla and oil and stir until well combined.

Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir using a wooden spoon once or twice only!

Then, add in the vegan white chocolate chips. You want to make sure to add in the chips at the beginning of mixing the wet and dry ingredients or else the mixture will get tough. Use a wooden spoon to fold until the vegan white chocolate chips are combined but don't overmix.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a 1-inch cookie scoop to make the matcha cookies. If you don't have a large cookie scoop, use a big spoon and eyeball it. Just make sure the cookies are uniform in size. You should have about 20-24 when done correctly.

Now, using your clean hands, "smoosh" the vegan matcha cookies down so that they are flat. If you skip this step, they will not flatten very much during baking. This helps ensure you have that large flat cookie shape you desire!

Bake the green tea cookies for 11 minutes. Do not overcook! Since they are green it may be hard to tell when they are done. Bake them for no more than 12 minutes at the most!

Let them cool on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack!
