Tips for the Best Matcha Cookies

• Use high-quality matcha powder: Culinary-grade matcha gives the cookies their vibrant green color and authentic flavor.
• Adjust sweetness: If you like your cookies sweeter, add a little extra sugar or drizzle with honey after baking.
• Make it gluten-free: Swap the flour for a 1:1 gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free oats.
