Matcha (Green Tea) Chocolate Chip Cookies

I  bought a pack of matcha powder because I was planning to replace a meal a day with a healthy smoothie to help me lose the extra pounds I gained but it wasn’t for me,  I still like to chew my food.

To put my matcha powder to good use and not go to waste,  I made these cookies for St. Patrick’s Day last month..no, we’re not Irish. The timing was just perfect. 🙂

Matcha cookies had been on my list of recipes to try but I was putting it off because I do not think I would like it. I can still remember the taste of  matcha latte – the first and only time I tried it,  thought it tasted like grass.

I was wrong about the cookies, though. I like them! They taste so good. Green tea and chocolate are good together. I imagined the white chocolate chips would make this cloyingly sweet so I opted for semisweet chocolate chips and it was the right decision. My family especially my teenage boy who I thought would turn his nose up on it because the color looks suspect (green means it has veggies, :D)  love it even more!

Happy Baking!
