Matcha Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hello everyone,

When it comes to choosing an easy to make yet delicious treat, chocolate chip cookies are on the top of my list. As

it turns out, adding matcha powder to the dough makes them even better. They are

soft, chewy and the taste of matcha comes through really well.

Add butter into the mixing bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a paddle attachment. Adding the sugar gradually, in 4-5 parts, cream the mixture until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, egg and combine. You may have to scrape down the side of the bowl, so that everything gets fully incorporated.

Keep stirring the butter mixture at low speed and add the dry ingredients mixture. Do not overmix, as soon as everything has blended, you're done. Add sliced almonds and chocolate chips, fold in with a spatula. Place the mixture into the fridge for about an hour.

Baking

Preheat the oven to 170 °C (fan).

Lay parchment paper into two baking trays. Scoop the cookie dough onto the parchment, place in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes until the edges start to get a slight color.

Magic: in order to get perfectly round cookies, have a large cookie cutter (bigger than the cookies) on hand and right after taking the cookies out of the oven (before edges have started to get firm, place it over the cookies one by one and smooth the uneven edges by swirling the cookie cutter around the cookies.
