Yes, as matcha contains about 35mg of caffeine per ½ tsp. Since we are using 1 tbsp of matcha powder in this recipe and making about 12 cookies, each cookie will contain approximately 8.75mg of caffeine. This is much less than a typical cup of matcha! Matcha also contains a unique amino acid called L-theanine, which slows the absorption of caffeine. This means it has less of a "jittery" effect than coffee, which may be important if you're sensitive to caffeine.
