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.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon green tea powder (matcha)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 ½ cups white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  • Sift flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter, and white sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until blended; beat in vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy.
  • Mix flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until dough is just blended; fold in chocolate chips using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough, 1 heaping tablespoon per cookie, onto the prepared baking sheet 2 to 3 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality matcha powder: The quality of the matcha powder you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cookies. Look for a matcha powder that is bright green in color and has a fine texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Matcha cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their vibrant green color and delicate matcha flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these matcha cookies a try!
