Matcha Cookies

These bright green matcha cookies are a unique, delicious treat! They have a sweet, earthy matcha flavor, tender texture, and rich white chocolate on top.

This matcha cookies recipe is one of my favorite desserts. These bright green cookies have crisp edges, tender middles, and a complex, earthy flavor from matcha green tea powder. It balances perfectly with the creamy white chocolate shell on top. Easy to make in one bowl, they’re a delicious sweet, but not too sweet, treat. You’re probably familiar with matcha from matcha lattes, but this Japanese green tea powder is wonderful in desserts too.
