Fudgy Green Tea Matcha Crinkles

If you are looking for exclusive matcha treats that are simple yet fun to bake, we have the perfect recipe here for ya!

This delicious matcha cookie recipe is one you’ll want to whip up this weekend… presenting the fudgy Matcha Tea Crinkles by the lovely Nathaim Denly from @natsooonice

Nathaim Denly is from the City of Love, Iloilo in the Philippines. A physiotherapy graduate currently studying towards her board exam next year, Nathaim spends much of her free time looking for ways to incorporate matcha powder into different dessert recipes.

-----

Nathaim’s matcha krinkles (or crinkles) are inspired by one of her favourite childhood treats - chocolate crinkles. Popular in the Philippines, crinkles are soft, fudgy cookies coated with fine powdered sugar.

These innovative matcha crinkles have the same soft fudginess to them, with the added earthliness of matcha. The outside crust is slightly crisp while the inside is moist and gooey. The treats are then rolled in powdered sugar to create luscious green tea matcha crinkles.
