Try my Matcha Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies!

December 9, 2020

Holiday baking is a tradition for so many of us. Maybe this year we can do some experimenting with new ingredients and new recipes. This past week I decided to dress up the chocolate chip cookie with the ultimate superfood… matcha!

Matcha is a rich powder made from green tea leaves. It offers a powerful boost of antioxidants. It is known for its’ multiple benefits, like lowering bad cholesterol, cancer prevention and an increase in focus, just to name a few. That is why it has obtained a cult wellness status, mostly in the form of beverages.

It serves as a great natural green food coloring, so I thought it would be perfect in a cookie, especially for the holidays! It’s always fun to find different ways to be festive. After sneaking in some additional healthy ingredients, I came up with the Matcha Mint Chocolate Chip cookie, yumm! You can put it on your holiday dessert platter or have it for breakfast, you choose.
