Pistachio Matcha Financiers

These cute little cookies are perfect for the holiday season, the pistachio/matcha batter makes them a nice green. Finished with some freeze dried raspberries, they are the perfect Christmas treat.

Financiers are cake-like little cookies usually made with hazelnut or almond flour. This recipe uses ground pistachios, matcha, and whole wheat flour. Matcha gives it a nice little bitterness, while the whole wheat flour gives some sweetness. For an extra sweetness, I dip them in white chocolate and sprinkle with freeze dried raspberries.

**A few notes before getting started**

-Choose an affordable culinary or lower grade tea; baking destroys the nuance of high-quality matches.

-Plan ahead! The batter must be chilled for at least 3 hours before baking!

-You can find freeze dried raspberries at most grocery stores in the nuts aisles.
