Air Fryer Matcha Cookies

These air fryer matcha cookies are soft, chewy, and filled with chocolate chips. A quick and easy recipe with a unique twist for any occasion.

I wanted to make a cookie that was a little different from the usual chocolate chip or sugar cookies. Matcha caught my attention because it brings a natural earthy flavor and a beautiful green color. Baking them in the air fryer makes the process faster and keeps the kitchen cool. These cookies are soft in the middle with just the right crisp on the outside.

My family was surprised when I served these cookies. They expected the usual but were excited to try something new. The hint of matcha blended with chocolate chips made the flavor unique without being too bold. Everyone reached for seconds, which told me they were a hit.

This recipe is also simple and does not take much time. The air fryer does the work, so you can make a batch quickly even on busy days. They are perfect for tea time, snacks, or even as a thoughtful homemade gift.
