I figured my relatives would probably be drowning in Christmas sweets by the time I got these cookies to them, so I opted for something unique and only slightly sweet. I had been dying to make something matcha-flavored for a long time, so I figured now was the perfect opportunity.
These ones were nerve-wracking; I didn’t have time or resources to make a practice batch, the last batch of cookies I made weren’t even edible, and I lacked the right kind of sugar for the recipe I wanted to use.
