Delicious cookies made with Japanese matcha tea
Confectioneries made with matcha powdered green tea are very popular in Japan. They are nice looking, tasty and healthy!
If you use 2 coloured types of dough: normal white and green tea, add biscuits or cookies they will turn out different patterns. This time we have tried to make spiral and checkboarded patterns.
This cookie has a light taste and fresh flavor of matcha green tea. It will be tasty not only for kids, but adults as well. Add more powdered tea to make the taste stronger.
After mixing, the raw dough can be stored in the freezer, handy for unexpected visitors.
