A few months ago, I was sitting inside my bedroom, just hanging out and absolutely bored. My mind was wandering and thinking about so many things, but my body was the opposite; lazy and not wanting to do anything, It was around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday evening, and an idea clicked, why don’t I make cookies? The reason I chose cookies was that they’re easy to make and quick, especially considering it was a school night. I remember scrolling through Instagram and seeing pictures of matcha cookies, I was immediately convinced they would taste good, especially when I saw the pretty, bright, green color the matcha gave and the white chocolate chips which stood out, among the green. I ran up to my dad and asked him to get me a few ingredients.
After he left to get the ingredients I started my preparation and set up. Soon after, I started making the batter with all the ingredients, first the dry, and the wet, and then I combined the separately mixed ingredients, and by the time he was back, the batter was ready for the white chocolate chips. I was happy with the way the cookies looked and the beautiful green color that the matcha added. After baking them, everyone was so excited to try them and they all loved them!
