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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped almonds with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
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.
