Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 10 grams Matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
