Green Tea Cookie Calories

Not always. A Green Tea Cookie may use brewed green tea, ground tea leaves, or matcha; a matcha cookie specifically uses powdered tea leaves. Matcha versions often have a stronger tea flavor and a greener color.

You can eat a Green Tea Cookie at night, but one made with matcha or green tea may contain caffeine that affects sleep in sensitive people. If caffeine keeps you awake, choose a tea-free cookie in the evening.
