Nutritional values
Especially for vegans, almonds are a great source of calcium and omega-3 fatty acids. Honey provides fewer calories than household sugar and still anti-inflammatory enzymes.
If you don't like the taste of matcha tea, you can prepare the cookies without the green powder. Alternatively, you can replace it with cocoa powder, then the matcha coconut cookies are modified to chocolate coconut cookies.
