- Make your cookies the same size to ensure the cookies have the same texture and bake the same. Use a cookie scoop for best results.
- Don’t over-mix ingredients or this can make the cookies tough.
- Cool down the cookies before storing so they don’t break apart from the trapped steam.
- Matcha Powder Use a good quality Matcha Powder in either Ceremonial or Culinary.
