Lily Pad Matcha Green Tea Cookies Recipe
Lily Pad Matcha Green Tea Cookies Recipe
"Our plan to make a Matcha green tea cookies recipe was almost a total failure. Lily pad cookies were a bit of a happy accident. Like many of our recipes lately, they were intended to be something completely different in the beginning. But, as our blog name suggests, we are all about turning a mess into magic.

NotesAs I mentioned in our Matcha ice cream recipe, not everyone loves the flavor. I thought the Matcha green tea cookies tasted super yummy, but possibly a tad too sweet. Shelley said they taste too green, my Gram thought they weren't sweet enough, and Mike said they taste like Christmas. Yes, a holiday as a flavor, that's so helpful. So, it comes down to a personal preference and to how much you like Matcha.
