    Substitutions

    • Not a fan of green tea? Use classic chocolate Kit Kats, strawberry Kit Kats, or any other Kit Kat flavors that excites you.
    • Swap the butter for vegan butter and the milk for almond or oat milk to make this recipe vegan-friendly.

    Variations

    • Peanut Butter Twist: Replace the green tea Kit Kats with peanut butter-filled chocolates or peanut butter cups. Add 1–2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the dough for extra flavor.
    • White Chocolate & Matcha: Swap the mini chocolate chips for white chocolate chips. Mix 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into the almond flour for a stronger green tea flavor.

    Storage

    • Refrigerator: Place the cookies in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 1 week. But I bet you would eat these up within a day 🙂
    • Freezer: For longer storage, keep them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. When ready to enjoy, you can eat them straight from the freezer (they’ll be firmer) or let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly.

    Top Tips

    • It is important to freeze the Kit Kats before using them in this recipe. It is so much easier to slice them up when frozen.
    • Make sure to sift the almond flour before mixing to prevent lumps in your cookie dough.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is Kit Kat candy or cookie?

    Kit Kat is primarily considered a candy bar with layers of crispy wafers inside, giving it a cookie-like texture. Its chocolate coating makes it more of a sweet confection than a traditional cookie.

    These unique flavors are popular in Japan, where Kit Kat is known for its wide variety of regional and seasonal options. Green tea (matcha) is especially iconic there.

    Green tea Kit Kat has a sweet, creamy taste with earthy and slightly bitter notes of matcha. It’s a delightful balance of richness and the distinctive flavor of green tea.

    I have been hearing raves about green tea KitKats, so I decided to try it, and let me tell you, it is simply amazing! I took my first bite and it was very delicious. Now I'm not a big fan of green tea and I actually think it's an acquired taste, but these were delicious, especially if you freeze the KitKats.

    Since it's been very hot in southern California, I have been looking for ways to not use my oven and I put together a recipe that is delicious, and refreshing, and you don't have to use your oven! These were very simple and easy to make and I really hope you enjoy them!

      This is a fun dessert to make! Not a fan of green tea tho but other kit kat flavors such as the strawberry one hits the spot.
