Matcha Mummy Cookies

I always go through ingredient phases and right now, that phase is matcha! Matcha or macha is the finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It provides a subtle flavor and is my go-to caffeine source when I've exceeded my coffee limit for the day (which is often). I feel like it's also one of those words that I prefer to yell exuberantly like - MAT-CHA! which adds to its many positive attributes.

I LOVE these cookies because they're soft and chewy like a traditional sugar cookie but the addition of matcha powder and white chocolate give it a more earthy quality that breaks up the sweetness. I also brought these into work (so I wouldn't eat them all) and they were a hit with everyone! If you want your cookies to be more bright green in color, opt for a Ceremonial grade matcha powder which is more expensive but is more vibrant in color.
