Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Shape the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it using the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
