Keto Matcha Cookies

This recipe is super easy to make and doesn’t require the use of a cookie cutter. So, there is no need to roll the dough to make these ketogenic cookies.

It’s a much healthier option than regular cookies since it is low in carbs and has no added sugar. Plus, it uses real matcha tea powder.

I recommend you use a quality matcha tea powder to ensure no bitter taste. It’s critical to get the best-tasting cookie since not all matcha powders are created equal.

How To Make Keto Matcha Green Tea Cookies

Making this delicious green tea keto cookie recipe is pretty straightforward.

You’ll start by stirring together the coconut flour, baking powder, matcha powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and setting aside the dry ingredients.

Then, in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract on medium speed until fully combined.

Once the wet ingredients are incorporated, you can add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Then, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This extra step ensures that the cookies do not spread as they bake.

After the cookie dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line your baking sheets with sheets of parchment paper.

Next, using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Space the cookie dough evenly, leaving about 2 inches in between.

I then recommend you slightly flatten each ball of dough onto the cookie sheet before baking them for about 15 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.

Now, it’s time to make the icing for these cookies. To make the keto matcha glaze, just combine the sugar-free confectioner’s sweetener, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and heavy whipping cream in a small bowl.

If you notice that the icing is too thick, you can add an additional tablespoon of cream to thin it out. Then drizzle the glaze over the fully-cooled cookies and allow the icing to set before enjoying.

It’s important that you allow the cookies to cool completely for about 30 minutes on a cooling rack before drizzling the low-carb matcha powder glaze.

Best Sugar Substitutes For Sugar-Free Matcha Cookies

As far as choosing your sweetener for these sugar-free matcha cookies, my top choice is a monk fruit/erythritol blend. My personal favorite is Lakanto’s brand. But you can also use Swerve an erythritol sugar substitute.

You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for most of my baked goods. However, if using Pyure, you will want to use half the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter choice.

Lastly, if you can’t easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda for baking or a generic brand of the same. It will work with great success.

I know not everyone would agree with me here, and I respect that, but in my book, it’s still better than regular sugar.

When it comes to the cookie glaze, you will have to use a confectioner’s sugar substitute. Both Lakanto and Swerve have great ones.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

In case you don’t know, our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our entire lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives.

I love how supportive and encouraging this group of believers is. It’s exciting to see how people are transforming their lives by combining this lifestyle with the Christian faith.

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.

Be sure to request our FREE Jesus and Keto E-Book (First 7 Days). We hope it blesses you.
