What is your first reaction when you see these greenish weird looking stuffs? Cabbage? or some kinda moldy cookies? Well, they were actually crackle cookies (they cracked after baked) but I decided to call them 'Brussels Sprouts' cookies because I think they look alike.
The original recipe uses cocoa powder & dark chocolates but I replaced with matcha powder & white chocolates instead. These cookies are awesome! The matcha powder taste is intense. Best of all, no sugar is added in these cookies! I merely rely on the sweetness of the white chocolate. If you are a matcha fan lover, you gotta give this recipe a try. Be sure to use good quality matcha powder to get that intense flavor =)
