    Nibby Matcha Wafers

    Published Apr 5, 2010

    stack of delicious matcha wafers
    These matcha cookies are full of the good stuff. I'm not talking about some dusty, old schwag, I'm talking primo, dank, skunky, pure green.

    matcha powder in a packet
    Just smell it: fresh and earthy, with a hint of spice. This stuff is totally mellow and cerebral. It packs a serious buzz, but won't make you paranoid. It stimulates introspection and meditation, makes you more productive, and leaves you alert and clear-headed, with nary a munchy or hangover.

    It's also full of antioxidants.

    matcha wafers with chocolate chips
    I'm not talking indica or sativa, I'm talking about top-notch, finely-milled camellia senensis.

    Or matcha, to be precise.

    You will recognize this pungent, green powder from the flavoring and color in green tea ice cream. I mixed some into a buttery sable dough, and added cocoa nibs for a bit of crunch and earthy, well, dankness. They're pretty stellar.

    They may not be particularly stony, but put them on the table at the right party, and they'll get snapped up quicker than you would expect.

    These cookies are full of the good stuff!  
    Alanna Taylor-Tobin
    Prep Time: 15 minutes
    Cook Time: 15 minutes
    Chilling time: 30 minutes
    Total: 30 minutes
    Servings: 24 2" cookies

    Ingredients

    • 4 ounces unsalted butter, softened but still cool (1 stick)
    • 1/3 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling the cookies
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 3 tablespoons cocoa nibs

    Instructions

    • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat to 350º. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
    • In the bowl of a kitchen aid fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth, creamy and well combined, a few minutes on medium-low. (This is a dough that you don't want to over-aerate, or the dough will be difficult to roll and the cookies will spread too much during baking.) Beat in the salt and matcha, then add the flour, mixing on low until barely combined. Add the cocoa nibs.
    • Use a plastic scraper to fold the dough a few times by hand to make sure it is homogeneous, then form into a disc on a piece of parchment or plastic wrap. Chill until mostly firm, 30 minutes to an hour.
    • Roll the dough out to about a 1/6" thick round. This is most easily done between two sheets of parchment paper and light dustings of flour as needed. (If the dough becomes at all sticky, return to the fridge for 5 or 10 minutes.) Cut with a 1 1/2 - 2" round cutter, cutting the rounds as close together as possible. (You can either press the scraps back together and repeat the rolling/cutting process, or be lazy and just bake off the scraps to snack on.) Place the rounds on the parchmented baking sheets, spacing them 1" apart, and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
    • Bake the cookies until lightly golden, about 15 minutes, rotating front to back and top to bottom halfway through. Cool on racks.
    • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.

    New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed New recipe on TBG today: 🍋 GF lemon poppy seed cake. It's moist, lofty, tender, and so easy to make.

This is a smol sheet cake (8x8) that you can whip up in under an hour with just one bowl and a whisk. Swipe to see how easy it is to make!

I especially love making this cake with Meyer lemons - so obsessed with their sunny, floral flavor! It pairs beautifully with nutty poppy seeds, which add a bit of crunch and old-world flavor.

Made with some whole grain flours, no gums, and with DF and refined sugar-free options too.

    Sunny GF #lemontart vibes for a dark Friday! 🌝🍋

This is our 🤷‍♀️ day of rain and clouds here in NorCal and I'm definitely craving brightness in all forms, including and especially citrus! 

You can make this golden-hued tart with regular lemons, but I especially love the floral taste of Meyers if you have access to them. 

The bright and tangy lemon curd gets baked in my tender, buttery almond flour tart crust, a reader favorite since I shared it in my cookbook back in 2016. 

Top it with whipped creme fraiche and bee pollen for a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy-pants bakery but is actually super easy to make yourself. 

Stay dry out there, friends!

    Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Creamy, vegan quiche made with @Hodofoods All-Day Egg Scramble for a vibrant filling loaded with eggy, cheesy vibes! 🌈✨
 
This recipe starts with my flaky gluten-free pie crust and a mess of sauteed veggies. For the filling, just blend #hodoeggscramble with plant milk, corn starch, a bit of maple sugar, and baking powder. The sugar balances the flavor, and a pinch of baking powder gives it a bit of fluff. 
 
Whip one up for a satisfying brunch dish everyone can enjoy! Get the recipe @hodofoods.

    GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨ Gluten and GF DF Lemon Almond Olive Oil Cake ✨

Gluten and dairy-laden cakes *wish* they could be as moist and tender as this cake, which gets loads of flavor from fruity olive oil and a meltingly tender crumb from nubby almond flour. 

Nibble slices plain with a cup of tea, or dress up wedges with sugared strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream or coconut cream. 

The cake can be made up to a few days ahead; it just gets better and better as it sits. Feel free to try this cake with other citrus zest and juice, such as Meyer lemon, tangerine, or blood orange.
