Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
For Cookies
- 1 1/2 cup (195g) all purpose flour leveled
- 2 tablespoons (10g) matcha green tea powder sifted
- 1/2 cup (113g/1 stick) unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup (67g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (45g) brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) salt
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make cookies. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl of a mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until creamy and light. Add in egg and keep beating until combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Add in vanilla and beat until combined. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and beat just until combined. Do not over mix.
- Use a cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop) to scoop out the cookie dough and place on a baking sheet, leaving 2-inch space in between for cookies to rise (you can make balls from the dough by hand if preferable). Bake immediately for 9-10 minutes until edges are lightly brown. Allow cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.
Notes
Cookies should be stored without drizzle on top. Keep them separate. Drizzle on top right before serving.
