Matcha bound days, enriched with dark chocolate pieces fused with a zesty blood orange tinge. A last minute dwindle in addition of the ‘bloody orange choccy’ certainly did contemplate the flavourings as a last resort to the mixture. The cookie certainly goes down well with a simple cuppa tea. Bliss!

Makes approx 14 cookies 

Ingredients: 

• 150g x Unsalted butter
• 120g x Soft light brown sugar
• 100g x Caster sugar
• 1 x medium Egg (room temperature)
• 300g x Plain flour
• 1/2 tsp x Bicarbonate soda
• 6g x Matcha powder
• 90g x Orange Dark Chocolate (Godiva pure blood orange dark bar)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150ºC/Gas mark 2/ 300ºF. Line the 2 oven wire racks with greaseproof paper (or use a baking tray).
2. Melt the butter in the microwave. Allow to cool a bit. Put the brown sugar and caster sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the slightly cooled butter and beat together until submerged.
3.  Beat the egg. Add to the mixing bowl.
4. Sieve the flour into the bowl. Add the bicarbonate soda and matcha powder. Mix the ingredients together until combined.
5. Using a knife, chop the dark chocolate roughly into small pieces. Fold into the mix.
6. With your hand, take a golf ball size piece of the dough. Roll into a ball shape using the palm of your hands. Place onto the lined greaseproof paper wire rack. Ensure you allow spaces in between the cookie dough roughly 3inches apart. As the cookies will expand during baking. (I placed 9 on one wire rack, 5 on the other).
7. Place the cookie dough racks into the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20mins until the edges are slight crisp. Allow the cookies to cool down on the greaseproof paper racks for 10mins before removing them.
