New year, new me ;)

Hi guys! Trying to focus more on blogging/vlogging. I want to incorporate my DIY and cooking mama recipes.

Last week I tried a recipe (tweaked it a bit), I found on Facebook. You know what I'm talking about, when you see your friend's liking or posting those darn appetizing, easy, Facebook recipes. So I had to test it out.

This is green tea chocolate chip cookies. My version contains coconut oil, instead of butter. I also tried green tea matcha latte powder from Trader Joe's. By using this green tea mix, it allowed me to reduce the amount of refined sugar, and brown sugar because of the sweetness of green tea latte mix. It turned out to be a win-win! I am a matcha green tea addict, so definitely will be making more of these cookies. Eating it, will be in moderation. ;-)

Green Tea Chocolate Chip Recipe

1/2 cup coconut oil 
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
7 tablespoons matcha (green tea) powder
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups bittersweet chocolate chunks, divided

I didn't chill the dough beforehand like recipe states, just put it right in the oven for 9 mins @ 350 degrees. 

What I like about this recipe, is you can tweak it to your liking. Instead of all-purpose flour, you can test out wheat flour, or even coconut flour, etc. 

Alright I will be posting more this year, on my blog and my Youtube channel!
Follow me on Pinterest, Instagram, Etc.
