Let’s talk cookies—matcha checkerboard cookies to be exact. These little squares aren’t just pretty to look at; they’re a clever way to sneak in a dose of calm thanks to that earthy green tea flavor. You get buttery vanilla in one bite, vibrant matcha in the next, and a soft crunch that doesn’t shout for attention but gently says, 'Hey, I’m here and I’m delicious.' They’re the kind of cookies I make when I want something fun to share, but not over-the-top. They sit right in that sweet spot of being easy, wholesome, and just a bit fancy (without actually being fancy—you know what I mean). I like to pair them with a cozy matcha latte or stash a few in a container for those “snack now or rage later” moments. Whether you're browsing for healthy snack ideas or craving a clean snack fix, these cookies tick all the boxes. They fit beautifully into your list of easy healthy snack ideas, double as a calm tea-time treat, and let’s be honest—look impressive on a plate. If you’re into recipes snack lovers can get behind, this is the one to keep on hand.
