Recipe: Almond & Matcha Green Tea Cookies

Almond & Matcha Green Tea Cookies

I was ecstatic when I was able to finally afford and buy the Kitchenaid Mixer I’ve been eyeing for years.

My friend and I immediately plan to do a baking day. On that day, the chosen recipe is the Almond & Matcha Green Tea Cookies. We shopped for a few hours trying to find all the ingredients so that it’ll be easy for us to follow the recipe.

We had a hard time looking for the almond meal so we decided to create one of our own. It was worth it. It’s always nice to learn new things. The end product was nice. I really like the taste of Matcha 🙂
