The aroma and the colour are such inspiration and I absolutely deeply in love with. A very good treats which make it suited for the festive season, snacking them and totally enjoy at every bite of it.

I have to tell you, I always tempting to have anything that contains the touch of matcha, moreover beverage such a soya matcha latte, it’s a great company for the sundown and it makes the scene even fantastic! Later, the nightfall would be the peaceful night before hits the bed.

I was sticking to my plan of baking some matcha cookies, looking something so dearly that could impress me to be pack in the jar and beautiful to look at. Without any hesitation, I decide to move forward with Martha Green tea Cookies recipe as I need to short the time of surfing, in intent to pin the desire one. At that time, I was thinking of being creative with some idea of making these cookies really glowing and having some contrast to balance the flavour. I came up with the additions of sea salt to be sprinkle on top before it baked, trust me…this sweet heart would hit your satisfaction up to the air :))

 

In the end, I was happy with the result, the sea salt actually works as enhances to all sweet delight and I could not stop munching them. It’s good to be true that with the balance of sea salt and bitterness became wonderful wrapped-up to the whole package!
