In the mood for matcha? You’ll love these cookies.
Matcha is a type of finely ground green tea that’s native to Japan and probably best known for its super-vibrant colour. It has a distinct taste and a natural sweetness that some people just can’t get enough of — which is exactly why we’ve created this cookie recipe.
Sweet and simple, you don’t have to be an experienced baker to get these right. In a matter of minutes, you’ll have a piping hot plate of wonderfully light and fluffy cookies.
Not only are they a delicious way to get a boost of protein, they’ll definitely brighten up your tea break.
