Description
At its core, the Strawberry Matcha Crinkle Cookies recipe is a fusion of Japanese-inspired tea flavors and traditional American cookie techniques. The cookie base is infused with high-quality green tea powder, providing an earthy, slightly bitter undertone that acts as the perfect canvas. Into this earthy base, we fold fresh strawberry puree, which introduces a natural sweetness and a subtle acidity that brightens the entire palate.
