Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coconut Cream Filling:
- 1 can (14 oz) full-fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Using your hands, shape the dough into small logs, about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Coconut Cream Filling:
Once the coconut milk has chilled, carefully open the can and scoop out the solidified cream into a mixing bowl, leaving the liquid behind (you can save it for smoothies or other recipes).
Using a hand mixer, beat the coconut cream until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Cookies:
Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of the coconut cream filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, flat side down. Press gently to create a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies until all are filled. For an extra touch, dust the tops with additional matcha powder or powdered sugar.
Serve and enjoy your Vegan Matcha Vienna Fingers with Coconut Cream Filling with a cup of tea or coffee!
