Preheat the oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal (ground flax seeds) and warm water together in a small bowl. Let this sit for 2 minutes until a thick gel forms.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the melted vegan butter, almond or oat milk, matcha powder, purecane or sugar, salt, vanilla, flax eggs, and baking powder together. Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour and mix until a thick a thick cookie dough forms.
Use a spoon to scoop out about 2 tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie and gently form it into a loose ball. Place the cookie dough onto the lined baking and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden and they lift easily off of the paper.
Use a spatula to remove each cookie from the baking sheet and allow them to cool on a wire rack. While the cookies cool, use an electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, softened or melted vegan butter, and vegan cream cheese - until a creamy vegan cream cheese icing is formed. If the icing is too thick to drizzle, heat it in the microwave for 7-10 seconds. Drizzle the icing over the warm cookies and enjoy!
