Gluten-free Matcha Cookies
My green matcha cookies are bright, light and gluten-free. My cookies are slightly crunchy yet still soft and melt in your mouth. This cookie recipe is made with my new homemade gluten-free flour blend with rice flour, potato flour and cornflour. I will add the link below for the recipe for making 500g.
The recipe tip to ensure the cookies stay bright green and don't turn brown is not to bake them for too long.
Takes = 15 minutes + resting time
Bakes = 6-8 minutes

- SCOOP out a small teaspoon roll it into a ball then place the ball on a baking tray and flatten the cookie with the bottom of a glass or your hand. (I love this tip they come out so even). I forgot to do this in my video tutorial. Sprinkle with a little sugar on top.
