Why This Recipe Is So Easy To Love

These cookies offer a unique blend of flavors with the earthy taste of green tea and the bright zest of lemon. They are naturally gluten-free, making them a great option for anyone with dietary restrictions. Plus, they are light, refreshing, and perfect for a healthy snack.

Quick Kitchen Tips

- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best green tea flavor.
- Make sure the lemon zest is finely grated to avoid any bitter bits.
- Chill the dough before baking to help the cookies keep their shape.

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, combine the brown rice flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, baking soda, and lemon zest. Carefully open the green tea bags and sprinkle the tea leaves into the mix. Add the butter, agave syrup, and vanilla extract, then use a fork to mix everything together until it forms a soft dough.

Step 2

Roll the dough into small balls about an inch wide and place them on a baking sheet or stone, making sure they have a little space between them. Pop them into the oven and bake for about 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges turn a nice light brown. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for about a minute before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. If any cookies break while moving them, just press the pieces back together gently. Keep going with the rest of the dough until you’ve baked them all.

Best Foods To Serve With This

Enjoy these cookies with a cup of hot tea or a glass of cold milk. They also pair well with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for a simple dessert.

Best Storage Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag and thaw at room temperature before serving.
