I Love You So Matcha White Chocolate Cookies

Matcha and I have had a love story for about five years now. It has been a happy one. I first tried Matcha when it was not so conveniently found and it was mostly just like an expensive version of green tea. Since back then I was just starting with my new healthy lifestyle, I read vigorously about all of the benefits and history of Matcha. I was smitten by all the health-boosting benefits it promised and I knew I needed to adapt Matcha into my life permanently.

Just some of the many health benefits of matcha:

• Boosts metabolism and burns calories
• Relaxes the body, calms the mind and boosts memory
• Lowers cholesterol and blood sugar levels
• High in antioxidants

And there are many more good reasons why you should incorporate Matcha into your life. But how does one consume Matcha? At first I just drank it as a nice warm tea — Matcha even has its own tea ritual. But as my relationship with Matcha grew I started to play with it: smoothies, banana pancakes, cold cocktails.

A few weeks ago I was offered by Üks Väga Hea Tee to try Matcha that is specially made for cooking purposes, and I thought I’d try to make something I haven’t made yet. As my first cooking attempt with Culinary Matcha I made White Chocolate Matcha Cookies! They came out AMAZING! I do wish they had come out a brighter green, but since I used coconut palm sugar, which is naturally very brown, the green colour was not that dominant. I’m going to share the recipe of my first attempt.
