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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat well until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Gently press down on each dough ball to slightly flatten it using the bottom of a glass or the palm of your hand.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Step 9
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.
