These delicious cookies have a hint of green tea, which goes well with the sweetness of the other ingredients. They’re very easy to make and require no special equipment. If you like the taste of matcha, you can add more to the recipe (up to double the amount). They’re great as a snack between meals and go perfectly with your favourite tea. They’re best enjoyed on the same day, as they can go hard after a few days. If necessary, they can be stored in a plastic bag to stop them from drying out and keep them chewy for longer.
