Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 10 grams matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter and continue mixing until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 1.5 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Step 7
Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice each log into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 8
Arrange the cookie slices on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
