I'm never sure if I like strong flavours and kitchen-sink pizzas because that's the way my tastebuds are, or if they are that way because I overwhelmed the poor devils with a too-long relationship with Tabasco sauce. A relationship that segued into a destructive romance with kimchi, banana peppers on and in everything and chilli pepper flakes.
I'm off all those things now, but am left with a leaning toward stronger flavours. So I don't just like chocolate chip cookies (though good ones are very fine), I like them with additions. One of my favourite additions is green tea.
Chocolate Matcha Cookies
These are gorgeously moreish. The chocolate hits your tongue first and just as you are thinking “I can’t taste the green tea” it comes in, beautifully complementing the chocolate chips. They turn out a lovely natural shade of green, not at all lurid or St. Patrick’s Dayish. You can find small tins of green tea powder, or matcha, in some groceries and in Japanese groceries or on-line.
½ cup butter
¾ cup brown sugar
1 ¼ cup flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon matcha
pinch of salt

In your measuring cup mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, pinch of salt and matcha), and combine this with the butter and sugar mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop cookies onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until cookies don’t look wet anymore.
