I’m a big matcha fan, love love loooooove it! I loved it so much I baked it and ate it. Here are some health benefits of matcha, followed by the recipe of one of my fav cookies.
Directions
0/0 steps made- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Let’s start with the almond flour! I actually blended some almonds using my Magic Bullet. I didn’t grind them coarsely, but enough that it’s close to a flour texture, leaving some almond chunks in there. If you have almond flour on hand, measure out about 1 1/4 cup and keep it aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the almond milk, vanilla, egg and beat for another minute.
- Add both your flours, matcha, baking powder, salt and coconut.
- Mix well. A thick sticky batter should form.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter by the tablespoon on to your prepared baking sheets.
- Place in oven for 13-15 minutes, or until edges start taking on a brown colour.
- Allow to cool before serving and enjoy!
A bit about why I love Matcha:
High in Antioxidants, loaded with Catechin, boosts memory, increases energy & endurance levels and detoxifies the body. It also helps to relax the body, some say it puts the body in a meditative state while still being completely alert. Looks like you can eat these cookies guilt free!
