These matcha cookies were the brainchild of my friend Jenny of Ceremonial Grade. In addition to being a talented photographer, designer, and fellow cat lady, Jenny is a matcha connoisseur. She had the brilliant idea to add a hefty dose of matcha to my tahini oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe earlier this year. She turned out the most dazzling green matcha cookies I'd ever seen.
When Encha asked me to make a recipe with their delicious culinary-grade matcha, matcha cookies were the first thing to pop into my head. I used my paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe as a base. These use cashew butter to create a chewy texture that puffs and spreads just like classic chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are light in color, so I knew they would show off the vibrant green matcha beautifully.
