I was actually surprised the cookies didn’t turn out green. I was going to add green food coloring, but I will leave that option open for anyone who wants to add green food coloring to the cookies. Overall these cookies tasted DELICIOUS, but with the added matcha green tea it enchanted the cookie flavor even more! What do you think?
Try drinking milk with the cookies, it cancels out a lot of the sweetness of the cookies!
I purchased the matcha green tea from Trader Joes for only $3.99. You can also use this Matcha to make a copy cat recipe of Jamba Juice’s Green Tea Smoothie!
