These cookies are the perfect snack for anyone who enjoys chocolate and Matcha. Newbies to Matcha will also find these cookies incredibly delectable, as the Matcha flavor is not overpowering and balances well with the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
As with all my recipes, these cookies not only taste delicious, but also provide some health benefits. They are made with fiber-rich spelt flour and a ‘flax egg’, which is also a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. The sweetness of the cookies is achieved primarily through low amounts of organic brown sugar and vanilla extract. The Matcha powder and the dark chocolate chips are powerful sources of antioxidants and take these cookies to a whole new level of goodness. Simply put the ultimate feel-good cookie or (as my boyfriend would say) Matcha-licious! Enjoy!
