Matcha Almond Cookies

I recently started drinking Matcha, which is essentially green tea powder. It has many health benefits like boosting your metabolism, naturally detoxifying, and is a natural energy booster.

It reminded me of the Green tea ice cream they sell at most Japanese restaurants, which I love! I wanted to make something out of it, and got the idea of little tea cookies from my classmate. These are super easy to make and are only 6 ingredients!

What you need:

1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 c. packed powdered sugar

1 c. flour
1 Tbsp. Matcha green tea powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 c. chopped almonds

Directions:

Cream together butter and sugar in electric mixer.
Sift together all other dry ingredients (flour, matcha, salt)
Slowly add dry mixture to butter mixture while mixing.
Stir in almonds until evenly distributed.

Your dough should be nice and green like this!

The best way to bake is to refrigerate the dough and roll into a log, then cut the log into pieces (1.5 inch). You can also take a teaspoon of dough and roll into a ball, like I have done here.






Bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving!





I hope you like them!

* You can also make cakes, cupcakes, candy, and other tasty treats!
