Green Tea Chocolate Chips Cookies


I have an affair with matcha powder recently (shh.....don’t tell this to my first crush: chocolate J).  I love everything with matcha green tea flavored, especially matcha chocolate, not to mention that it has so many wonderful health and taste benefits.  Last night, I was having a cookie craving, but I had minimal ingredients so I decided to make some sugar cookies.  I needed a recipe that was fast as well as delish so I searched the internet and found this on Kirbie's Cravings!! Geez, I am glad I did.  What a hit!  All the ingredients were simple and in my pantry, but…hey, don’t let the simplicity fool you.  This recipe makes the most fantastic cookies.  Everyone raved about them.


Haven’t you heard the wisdom of our lives that the simple things are often the best?  Okay, these cookies were the proof.  They were simple and easy to make with ingredients that you usually have on hand, the dough was a perfect consistency, and the taste was heavenly.  I did make some changes—as a chocolate addict—I  added ½ cup of semisweet chocolate chips and  added matcha powder to 3 tablespoons  to bring out the green color.


Most sugar cookie recipes make you refrigerate or freeze the dough for  a couple hours, but this one was a cinch to make.  Cookies flatten out on their own in the oven.  The cooking time is right if you want a nice chewy cookie, if not around 10-12 minutes for a crispy one.  I used a cookie dough scooper (about the size of a tablespoon) making sure it wasn’t overstuffed.  They may seem too soft to be done, but when they dry, they’re so chewy and yummy.


The result was a delicious buttery cookie, crispy on the outside and chewy within. Picture-perfect and awesome! I could see why they went so fast and everyone liked them.  I guess I’ll never buy a ‘store bought’ sugar cookie again. With ingredients on hands, I can make them anytime I get a sweet tooth!
