¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup white sugar

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield about 5 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, slightly softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons matcha
Royal icing, sanding sugar, sprinkles, for decorating, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • With a handheld mixer in a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla, beating for about 1 minute. Sift the salt with the flour and matcha. Reduce the mixer to a low speed and then add the flour mixture, mixing just until blended.
  • Turn the dough out of the bowl. Shape into a disc, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
  • Remove from the fridge and dust your cookie cutters, rolling pin and workspace with flour. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough about 1/4-inch thick and cut out with assorted cutters. Place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
  • Bake until the edges of the cookies are a light golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Decorate with royal icing, sanding sugar and sprinkles if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality matcha powder. This will ensure that your cookies have a vibrant green color and a delicious, earthy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Matcha cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to enjoy the health benefits of matcha green tea. Whether you are a matcha lover or just looking for a new cookie recipe to try, these matcha cookies are sure to please.
