Christmas Cookies: Create Irresistible Matcha Cookies with Teatower's Culinary Matcha

With the holiday season, the desire to try new gourmet recipes is growing. Christmas cookies are a must-have, but why not add a touch of originality to your sweets this year? Matcha cookies, prepared with Teatower's organic cooking matcha, are a delicious way to surprise your loved ones while exploring the unique flavors of this Japanese green tea.

Which matcha is best for baking?

Choosing the right matcha is essential for successful recipes. Unlike traditional matcha used for tea consumption, cooking matcha stands out with a profile adapted for baking. At Teatower, we offer an organic vegan cooking matcha (discover it here) which gives your preparations a beautiful green color and a subtle taste without being too intense. This type of matcha blends perfectly with other ingredients like white chocolate or dried fruits.

What does matcha taste like?

Matcha has a unique flavor profile: a combination of vegetal notes, umami sweetness, and a slight bitterness. These characteristics make it an ideal ingredient for creating sophisticated desserts. In cookies, matcha blends with the sweetness of white chocolate for a perfect alliance of sweetness and refinement. Furthermore, its vibrant green color adds a festive touch to your Christmas cookies.
