Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare a cookie sheet with a parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl combine oat flour, matcha powder, baking powder and salt. Mix it well.
Now, add soaked flaxmeal, maple syrup, vanilla extract and oat milk to the flour mixture and whip it into a thick batter. (Don't add any extra liquid, just keep mixing with the back of the spoon to make it into a batter. Feel free to use your hands for mixing if needed).
Now, with a medium sized cookie scoop, drop 6 cookies on the prepared cookie sheet.
Now flatten the cookies with a bowl/cup that have a flat back. You may use ½ cup measurement cup too. Since, it’s going to be sticky, spray the back of your small bowl/cup with a cooking spray and then roughly wipe it with a kitchen tissue. Then, flatten one cookie from the center shaping it round at the same time. Make sure the edges are almost the same. Every time you flatten a cookie make sure to grease the back of your bowl/cup and wipe it with a tissue. This helps in separating the cup and the cookie easily. Flatten all the 6 cookies.
Place the cookie sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake for only 20 minutes. Turn it off and take it out. The edges would be slight brown. Let it cool down and release the cookies gently from the parchment paper. Enjoy!!

Feel free to sprinkle powdered sugar on the cookie once they cool down if desired. Since they are mildly sweetened.
These will be crisp on the outside and soft from inside with a strong earthy taste of matcha powder.
Make sure to leave about 1-2 inch gap between each cookie on the prepared sheet. This helps in flattening and spreading.
They might not come out very green and that’s totally fine. But these will have a strong taste though.
Store the leftovers in a container with a light lid on it at room temperature for about 8-10 days. Do not use air tight container or do not seal them so as to maintain the crisp effect.
This recipe makes 6 large cookies and the serving size is 1 cookie per person.
