Manager Cookie: Lazika's Legendary Flavor

Who could write a poem about a cookie? If anyone could, it would surely be for our matcha cookie with a story that makes you say "wow" as soon as you taste it. Also known as the "manager cookie."

The Story of Our Cookie

Though it may appear simple at first glance, this unique delight contains a blend of flavors. For about three years, we’ve been serving this cookie at our Lazika café/store in Maslak 42 Shopping Mall. Like life itself, our "manager cookie" has evolved and improved over time. Isn't experience the greatest teacher? Just like our teas and dreams, our cookie has grown, become better, and tastier over time.

A Phenomenon at Lazika: Manager Cookie

It has even become as famous as our tea in Lazika Maslak. Unfortunately, for now, you can only enjoy this treat in Maslak. But who knows, maybe in the future, we’ll offer it through our website.

A Flavor Made with Love

There’s a saying I love: “For those with love in their hearts, the whole world is family...” This perfectly expresses our goal: to continue on this journey with those we consider family. With love, with our loved ones.

Manager Cookie Recipe

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Resting time: 1 hour in the refrigerator
Baking time: 12-15 minutes at 150-160°C

Ingredients:

• Matcha: 5 g
• Green tea: 10 g
• Tahini: 1 tea glass
• Sesame seeds: 1 tea glass
• Olive oil: 1 tea glass
• Emmer wheat flour: 3 tea glasses
• Vanilla: 1 packet
• Powdered sugar: 1 tea glass

Preparation Steps

First, mix the liquid ingredients together, then gradually add the dry ingredients. Knead for about 10 minutes to obtain a slightly sticky dough. Let it rest in the refrigerator.

After the dough has rested, roll it out with a rolling pin and shape it. We made them round, but you can shape them however you like.

Place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 150-160°C.

Matcha Meets Mediterranean Flavor

Matcha can be a challenging flavor for many. Manager Cookie combines Matcha with Tahini and Sesame, offering a Mediterranean and Anatolian twist. We hope you enjoy it with your loved ones. Bon appétit!
