Matcha Cookies | Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Keto, Paleo, Vegan

I wanted to create a sophisticated dessert that would also be appropriate for a St. Patrick's Day celebration. After living in Savannah, Georgia for a few years, I always celebrate in my own unique way. Usually it involves a cold craft beer, Irish music, homemade loaf of soda bread, and a healthy green dessert (to balance out the unhealthy aforementioned indulgences:).

There are two easy ways to turn your favorite desserts green, Matcha and Chlorella. I love the simplicity of shortbread, you can really taste each individual ingredient flavor in the finished cookie. A small amount of Matcha goes a long way, too much will create a bitter, plant flavor. I searched for Matcha Shortbread recipes online and I found a few 5-star recipes that looked promising.

I did a 1:1 Swap for the flour/sugar/butter, but I reduced the matcha by half. Thank goodness my intuition was right. My detoxed cookies have the perfect balance of buttery shortbread with a lightly sweetened matcha flavor. If you LOVE matcha and want a stronger flavor, use 2 tablespoons instead of 1 in this recipe.

The only other adjustment I made to the original recipe was reducing the baking time on the Grain-Free cookies. Coconut and almond flour are delicate and burn more easily so watch your cookies closely. Another good option to ensure you don’t burn your cookies would be reducing oven temperature to 300 degrees and baking your cookies a little longer.
