I made these because I wanted something with matcha and to use up a few odds and ends in the baking pantry, and these sounded great. I have been looking for a solid green tea cookie recipe.
Notes:
- I only had about half of the amount of white chocolate the recipe called for. Even with that amount it was plenty sweet.
- I only had whole almonds in my pantry, so I used those instead of slivered almonds. I gave them a rough chop before mixing them in. They had a nice rubble-y texture, and I liked that because they still had the skins on, they were visually easy to tell apart from the white chocolate chunks.
Verdict: I loved them! They had enough green tea in them to be appropriately green and you could taste the green tea flavor clearly. Some green tea cookies I've tried before ended up very dry and crumbly, but these stayed together nicely and had a pleasant soft texture. I would definitely make them again.
