Ingredients

1¼ cup 110g almond flour
¼ cup 30g coconut flour
1½ tablespoon matcha powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon xanthan gum
Pinch of salt
6 tbsp 80g unsalted butter softened
4 tablespoon granulated sweetener I use Sukrin, use coconut sugar to make this recipe Paleo compatible!
1 large egg room temperature

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 340F (170C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or an immersion blender with a whisk attachment to cream the butter and granulated sweetener together until fluffy. Then, add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and, using the same mixer, mix until combined.
Form 11 balls (around 30g each) and place onto a lined with parchment paper baking tray so they have some space between them. Flatten them out by pressing slightly with your hands, so you get disc-like shapes.
Bake for 10 minutes on a lower rack or until the cookies just start to pick up a golden color.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 20 minutes on the baking tray. Then, transfer onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely before serving.
