Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 60 grams Almonds (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped almonds with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy with a warm cup of tea, or store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
