No story, really. I was craving something sweet and had ingredients to whip up these green-hued treats. I also love that it's a one pot, one bowl, and one baking dish creation.
Ingredients
- 1 C organic granulated sugar
- 1/2 C butter, melted
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1-1/2 C flour (I used a whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 3/4 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 C chopped raw pecans
- 1 T matcha green tea powder
Procedure
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, butter, and eggs just until blended.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and matcha; add to sugar mixture. Fold in
chocolate chips and nuts.
Spoon into a greased 8" x 8" baking pan and spread with a spatula to reach the edges of the pan. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares.

I imagine it is the matcha that makes them green (even though I don't know what matcha is) but there is no matcha in your recipe LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thanks for the catch! I definitely shouldn't be writing anything at 10pm. Just edited. Yikes.
