Why I Love This Matcha Green Tea Cookie Recipe
Many of you say your favorite videos are the Cookie of the Month and it’s easy to see why! Cookies are an equalizer; we all love them and we all can make them. This month’s cookie incorporates matcha green tea powder – it’s kind of a craze currently – and while in a cookie, the health benefits are probably negated, the flavor definitely is not! This is a fun cookie that is unique but still one that everyone will love. Not to mention the green color makes these perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations!
As will most cookies, these freeze so well in an airtight container for up to three months. But trust me, they won’t last that long!
Follow These Tips
Serving & Storage
To serve – Serve at room temperature so the centers stay tender and the matcha flavor is mellow and smooth.
To store – Store in an airtight container away from direct light for up to 4 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 2 months with parchment between layers.

I made these for church fellowship time today and added extra green food coloring to make them more MSU Spartan green/white for the March Madness Basketball round 2 game today. 💚 Rave reviews! So many asked for the recipe!
Made 3 dozen for me with my smaller cookie scoop.
