Matcha Recipes to Try Out
Do you want to recreate some matcha goods you saw on Pinterest? In case you don’t know what matcha is, matcha is made of ground green tea leaves. Commonly found in most East Asian countries, matcha can be found in teas or even lattes. But more recently, it has made its way in different baked goods and other forms of drinks. Listed below are some quick and easy recipes to follow!
Ingredients:
Lemonade
1 teaspoon of matcha powder
Ice
Instructions:
Add your desired amount of lemonade
Add a teaspoon of matcha powder to your lemonade and use a hand held whisk or mix with a spoon
Add ice and you are set!
Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1 tsp of baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp matcha powder
1 cup unsalted butter
½ cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs -- room temperature
1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Brown butter until it is a yellow, golden color
Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, and the matcha powder in a bowl
Add both white and brown sugar to the browned butter. After it is combined, add the eggs and vanilla. Make sure to whisk thoroughly until it is a creamy and light texture in the bowl; this allows the cookies to become chewy while crisp too!
After the wet ingredients are combined well, add it into the dry ingredients until a dough forms
Add white chocolate chips into the dough and mix until it is evenly distributed
Leave the dough to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature
Grab 2 baking sheets and be sure to line them with parchment paper. Then, use about 3 tablespoons of the dough to make balls. Another option is to use an ice cream scooper to evenly scoop out the cookies. Also, be sure to keep them 2-3 inches apart in order to prevent the cookies from cooking together.
Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes
Allow the cookies to cool and serve!
