I'm quite a hardcore matcha fans, when it's come to matcha sweets, either if it's chocolate, ice cream, cookies, etc, i always expect intense matcha flavour in them. I got 2 cans of really good matcha powder straight from Japan so i'm really excited to explore & make various sweets with them!
I searched for recipes on Youtube and found this Country Ma'am Soft Matcha Cookies by Ochikeron. Country Ma'am is a quite popular soft cookies brand in Japan, but i never get to try their matcha one though ^^ It's basically a soft matcha cookies with bits of chocolate inside. But i personally don't like to mix my matcha sweets with any other flavour like chocolate or even anko (sweet red bean paste), so instead of white & milk chocolate i'm gonna make matcha chocolate so these cookies will be super "matcha-ey" yeayy....!

I actually got the matcha powder from my bf, he's studying in Japan so i asked him to get me a really good matcha powder when he was going back to Indonesia for holiday. It costs about 10 dollars for 30 grams, kinda expensive but worth it :)
And it's really important to use a good quality matcha powder if you really like the intense matcha flavour in your chocolate. Each of these chips is like a tiny burst of matcha flavour & it's super good!
You can also make matcha chocolate (not chips) in the similar way i guess, just pour the melted matcha chocolate into a chocolate mold & let it harden. Well actually if you wanna do it "the right way" you have to temper the chocolate, which is kinda complicated, but if you just make it for your personal consumption, it doesn't really matter ;)
