Um, by the far the best way to eat your greens?

In cookie form, obviously.

And – good news – I didn’t even do anything weird like put kale in them!!!!!

(Or did I?)

(No, I really didn’t.)

Juuuuussstttt don’t tell my OB that this is what I mean whenever I tell her I’ve been eating something green at every meal…

….somehow I don’t think she would see the humor.

Or the nutritional value.

I also get that it’s totally weird to be sharing something so…verdant…when everyone else is all PINK! RED! PURPLE! HEARTS! LOVE!

But honestly, if my husband put a big plate of these in front of me, I would probably make out with him.

And then pull up a cup of milk and get comfy because I would not be moving until they were all safely in my belly.

They’re that good.

Moral of the story:

These are chewy and gooey and nutty and everything that is good about white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.

Plus matcha, in all of it’s herby earthy glory.

Make them for someone you love.

Or for yourself.

(You’re worth it.)

Yield: 30 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

    When I was pregnant I justified binging on milk chocolate covered almonds by telling myself that both milk (chocolate) and almonds are high in calcium.
    P.S. I love that you use vanilla bean paste! It’s my favourite.

  27. I love matcha so much! Bet it’s fabulous in these cookies. What a great idea!

    How do you get the matcha ? From a tea bag or a mix ? I didn’t see any at my grocery store

    • joanne says:

      Honestly, I ordered it on amazon! What you get in green tea bags isn’t really the same as matcha. I know Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s carry it as well. At Whole Foods it’s in the Asian food section and at Trader Joe’s it was near the coffee.
