Cookies with green tea
Description
This recipe won’t take much time. Green tea cookies are probably my children’s favorite cookies. You can’t bake these cookies on the sly as a surprise—while they’re in the oven, the wonderful smell fills the whole apartment, and everyone leaves their screens to crowd around the oven window, impatiently waiting for the green tea cookies to finally be done. The cookies really are quite unusual—definitely worth trying. They pair nicely with warm tea and warm milk. You can serve them with tea or coffee.
