Matcha Amaretti Cookies
Before I traveled extensively in Italy, I was a fan of crisp crunchy cookies. However, in Italy, I discovered soft and chewy almond cookies like these Matcha Amaretti Cookies. These cookies are deliciously light and airy with a vibrant green color thanks to the addition of matcha tea powder.
A tip for cooking these cookies without browning the bottoms too much is to place one cookie sheet inside another. If you decide to only use one cookie sheet, the cookies will brown more quickly and the cookies will need less cooking time, so watch them closely from about 25 minutes onwards!
To make Matcha Amaretti Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

My kids sadly weren't a huge fan but that left even more for me!! Hahaha.
Wow just wow. Officially my favorite dessert from this website so far.
Wonderful I had mine with warm milk on the side to dip them in I think it goes best with warm almond milk though.
Not my personal favorite dessert but I've had worse. I still think the rose petal cookies were sweeter and more creative than this.
Thanks for sharing these I used green food coloring so it could be more funky looking and the taste was perfect.

Vegetarian matcha cookies?! Count me in on this one!
Too much lemon just I recommend just a drop because citrus is such a strong thing to put in cookies that it'll make anything good taste sour depending on the amount.
I didn't like the texture or taste just not for me.

Great very happy with how these amaretti cookies turned out better than store bought.
Best damn cookies I've had in YEARS.
Okay so I think i did something wrong for sure cause mine weren't at all the same color and they tasted like sand.
Matcha has a weird taste to it but this was good.
Jelena and her perfect dishes! Thanks a bunch for this one keep up the good work.
Where can I even buy matcha powder? Isn't that stuff super expensive?
Replaced the granulated sugar with brown and added a bit of cinnamon to the ingridents for a hint of the taste.

Almond flour? Is it okay to just use bread flour cause I don't know where I can buy that here In Czechia.
Heavenly dessert I strongly recommend eating this if you want something with a light sweetness and soft and crunchy mix.

Going to try it out today hopefully all goes well it's the first time I've ever seen these before.
Italian amaretti cookies were my favorite when I first visited Italy, so happy I can recreate that memory now in my own home.

Normally I'm not a fan of anything with matcha in it or almonds to say the least but I wanted to try something different, this happened to be it. And oh boy when I tell you these were good.. I MEAN it. they were absolutely delicious and super soft on the inside with a very slight crunch to it. Just perfect, PERFECT dessert.
