Busy schedules often leave little room for complicated desserts, so these chewy, matcha green tea cookies step up with a naturally eye-catching look thanks to their signature green tea powder. Each bite delivers a gentle matcha aroma with a moist and soft center, just a little crisp at the edge—pretty much DELICIOUS for anyone who likes a mild, slightly sweet cookie that stands out from the usual treats.

Preparation

How to prepare Matcha Tea Cookies

The first thing to do to prepare the two-clock cookies is to beat the egg whites until stiff with half of the sugar. Then finely chop the toasted almonds in a mixer 1, put them in a bowl, and mix them with the remaining sugar. Add the seeds of a vanilla pod and the Matcha tea 2, mix well 3 and add the beaten egg whites 4.

Mix with a spatula until all ingredients are combined 5. Take some dough with a spoon (about 0.35 oz) and use your moistened palms to form balls 6.

Roll the balls in a container where you have placed the pine nuts (7-8). Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 9 and bake the Matcha tea cookies in a preheated oven for about 15 minutes at 338°F.
