Matcha white hot cocoa is the holiday drink of the season for all the matcha latte lovers out there. Whip up a batch for gift giving!

Jump to recipe

I may not make a new flavor of homemade hot cocoa mix every year, but I’ve certainly made my fair share. After the chai hot cocoa I made two years ago I knew what had to be next – matcha!

Normally there is 1-1/2 cups of cocoa powder in the basic hot cocoa mix recipe but I wanted to make this matcha version with a white hot cocoa base. However, a little bit of matcha goes a long way and you only need 1/2-1 teaspoon per serving which if we use the high end equates to 1/2 cup for 2 dozen servings for this mix.

Due to the decreased volume I did consider increasing the amount of dry milk powder to make up for it but in the end decided to just leave it as is and reduce the amount of matcha white hot cocoa mix needed for each serving – reducing from 1/3 cup to a slightly mounded 1/4 cup.

The result was even better than I imagined, even though I already imagined the combination of a matcha latte and white chocolate to be delicious. And the color is extra fun for the season/holidays! I plan to bring this one along with a few other fun flavors to make a little holiday hot cocoa bar for family when we visit this coming week. Maybe serve them with some festive cookies because ’tis the season!

It’s day 2 of #SpringSweetsWeek 2024 hosted by Heather from Hezzi-D’s Recipe Box! Spring officially started yesterday, March 19th, but the weather has not been very spring-y in return. Regardless, we are celebrating with plenty of spring sweets and a fun giveaway thanks to our #SpringSweetsWeek sponsors: Melissa’s Produce, Taylor and Colledge, and Selefina Spices. Find out more about the three amazing prizes HERE before entering using the Rafflecopter at the end of this post.

When I saw the matcha food grade powder included in the stash sent to me by Selefina, I knew I had to feature it in one of my recipes this week. It didn’t take me long to dream up the idea of making green tea matcha cookies using my chewy sugar cookie recipe as the base. (But I may have also seriously pondered a matcha tiramisu after the chai tiramisu success. Stay tuned…)

You would think a simple addition of matcha powder to an already tried and true recipe would be fail-proof. But I discovered brown cookie dough in my fridge the next day after an overnight chilling. I normally advocate for a longer chilling time when it comes to most cookie doughs, but clearly this was not one of them.

Thankfully the first batch still tasted good but I set out to make them a second time after troubleshooting. There was a plethora of green tea matcha cookies in my house – but is that really a problem?

Did you know that matcha oxidizes?

Evidently matcha is just like apples, bananas, and other foods. Oxidation naturally occurs when matcha powder is exposed to light, heat, and/or air (oxygen, hence the name). But it does change the color and could impact the flavor over time. (The brown tops of my matcha cheesecake bars make more sense now.)

The morale of the story is to keep the chilling to a minimum for this dough. On the other side, I also suggest enjoying these green tea matcha cookies quickly after baking as well because they will continue to oxidize – definitely store in a good air-tight container.

GREEN TEA MATCHA COOKIES

Print

Yield: 2 dozen Prep Time: 35 Minutes Cooking Time: 10 Minutes 10 Minutes

Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Selefina matcha green tea food grade powder
• 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to almost room temperature
• 1-1/2 cups sugar, plus more for rolling
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 Tbsp milk
• 1 tsp Taylor & Colledge almond extract paste

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, Whisk together flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, milk, and almond extract and beat until combined. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes*.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Place sugar in a shallow bowl.
4. Roll tablespoons of dough into balls and roll in the sugar (or sprinkles), shaking off any excess. Place on prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes, or until edges of cookies are just starting to brown and centers are set. Let cool on sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store leftovers in an air-tight container**.

Notes

*Normally I am a huge advocate for chilling longer, but the matcha will oxidize over time and turn brown if you chill this cookie dough for too long. It's still delicious but not as vibrantly green. **Baked cookies are also subject to browning by oxidation so these are best eaten within the first day or two.

Nothing like a moss cake or moldy muffin full of glass chards, amiright?

No?

What if I told you they were actually matcha zucchini muffins dressed up and ready for Halloween trick-or-treating? I promise they don’t taste like mold. And that “glass” on top is actually sugar!

I got the idea for these muffins from an old YouTube video that has stuck with me after all these years. Remember the “Shoes” video (another friends and I were thoroughly entertained by in college)? Well he also did one about muffins and it starts out alright until he introduces all kinds of weird flavors, including one with glass in it.

But as usual I couldn’t just stop there, I wanted to make them look moldy too. While the muffins themselves look pretty grossly green thanks to matcha and zucchini (with some white chocolate spores), I wanted to really get that fuzzy mold look. Here comes more matcha and powdered sugar dusted on top with my sugar dusting wand.

These might be the grossest looking things I’ve ever made, but thankfully when it comes to Halloween that’s a win! I’ve never been so proud of something so disgusting looking. Helps that they are indeed tasty breakfast muffins.

Yield: 1 dozen Cooking Time: 25 Minutes 25 Minutes

Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

MUFFINS

• 2 cups oats, old-fashioned or quick cooking
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 Tbsp matcha green tea powder, plus more for garnish
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt

2. In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, matcha, baking powder and soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, beat buttermilk, oil, and egg until well blended; stir in shredded zucchini. Add zucchini mixture to flour mixture and stir just until the flour mixture is moistened (the batter will be very thick). Stir in white chocolate chips, if using.
4. Spoon batter into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove muffins from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
5. Meanwhile, line a baking pan with wax paper or a silicone baking mat.

8. To garnish the muffins, dust the tops with matcha powder, followed by powdered sugar. Then insert pieces of candy glass into the top*.

Notes

* Best served the same day as the candy glass and powdered topping will dissolve over time due to moisture from the muffin. Alternatively, you could assemble later.

The naturally cool green color of these matcha swirl cheesecake bars comes from the use of real matcha and is made with a chocolate Oreo crust.

I’ve wanted to make a matcha cheesecake for a long time, so when my matcha-loving friend Stephanie got married in Chicago two weekends ago, I knew exactly what to make to help celebrate the occasion (they’re a matcha made in heaven) – matcha swirl cheesecake bars!

However, I didn’t end up taking photos of it (blogger fail) so I made them again the following weekend just for fun, which means now my coworkers will enjoy it as well. The matcha flavor is subtle but I always dig a good swirl topped cheesecake. It’s bascially a Matcha Latte in cheesecake form.

The second time I made these matcha swirl cheesecake bars I took my eye off it for a minute too long and the top browned more than I would have liked but instead of baking it a third time I just went with it because there’s nothing wrong with it or the recipe – it’s not you (recipe), it’s me.

I have a bad habit of getting distracted while multitasking in the kitchen and it often cause for mistakes such as this. Thankfully this scenario was more aesthetic than anything. Besides, it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right?

Matcha tea may not be the first thing that comes to mind for St. Patrick’s Day, but the color was meant to be! Everyone loves rice crispy treats so why not add some matcha? Naturally green for the holiday!

I’m seriously slacking in the St. Patrick’s Day recipe department this year. Not to say I don’t have plenty because normally I am all over this holiday, bursting with recipe ideas every year that I unleash them immediately after Valentine’s Day. I don’t know what it is about this holiday that gets my creative juices flowing for recipe development.

Although the same thing happens for Thanksgiving. Apparently I’m not one for very traditional menus O:-).

Speaking of non-traditional, how about tea flavored rice crispy treats? Matcha is likely not even close to the first thing you think of when someone says St. Patrick’s Day but when you remember it’s green color it makes sense.

I’m not normally one to shy away from food coloring, but it is fun when a food naturally lends itself to being colorful. Granted, adding matcha green tea powder didn’t turn these rice crispy treast as green as my green tea matcha cookies or matcha chia pudding, but there’s definitely a green hue about them without being off-putting. Just to be sure, I drizzled the tops with white and green chocolate candy coating.

In other news, I feel like I have not provided any recent updates on our new home. Probably because there isn’t any particular thing to talk about, just a lot of little bits of progress here and there.

I’m hoping we can get the garage organized and things that won’t be staying in there put away soon so we can actually park our cars in there before the weather improves and the biggest perk of a garage is gone. The number of days we’ve had to brush snow or scrape ice off our cars parked right outside of it…
