The Best Matcha Cookie Recipe - With Variations!

Craving for cookies? Skip the usual chocolate cookie recipe  and try matcha cookies (or a variation like matcha chocolate chip cookies or matcha sugar cookies)!

Add 1/4 cup crushed nuts – almonds, walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts) for extra crunch. Add a little bit of mix-ins – like milk chocolate, dark chocolate chips, toffee bits, crushed pretzels, or dried fruits to add richness and sweet flavor to the cookies.

Matcha Cookies Variations

If you don’t have matcha on hand – try to experiment by using a different Japanese green tea powder. After your cookies cool down – you can put a matcha-flavored topping on them. Make it by mixing powdered sugar, matcha powder, and a little bit of milk. This will give your cookies an extra kick of matcha flavor.
