tips to make Double Strawberry Chocolate Matcha Cookies

• Use very fresh strawberries and chop them small so they mix well.
• Do not overmix the dough; this keeps cookies tender.
• If dough is sticky, chill it 15 minutes before scooping.
• Space cookies well on the baking sheet to let them spread.
• Watch baking time; matcha and cocoa can darken fast.

variation (if any)

• Replace chocolate chips with white chocolate for a sweeter contrast.
• Use frozen strawberries, thawed and drained, if fresh are not available.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm note.
• Make mini cookies for bite-size treats.

FAQs

Q: Can I use matcha powder of any grade?
A: Yes. Culinary matcha works best for baking. Do not use ceremonial grade to save cost.

Q: Will the strawberries make the dough wet?
A: Chop the strawberries small and pat them dry with a towel. This reduces extra moisture.

Q: Can I use margarine instead of butter?
A: Butter gives better flavor and texture, but margarine will work in a pinch.

Q: Can I skip the cocoa powder?
A: You can, but the cookie will be more matcha-forward and less chocolatey.

Q: How do I keep the cookies from falling apart?
A: Do not overbake and let them cool fully on a wire rack to set.
