# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
02 -
1 tablespoon culinary-grade matcha powder
03 -
½ teaspoon baking soda
04 -
¼ teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 -
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
06 -
1 cup granulated sugar
07 -
1 large egg
08 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly blended.
02 -
Beat softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape sides to mix thoroughly.
03 -
Add egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth and fully combined.
04 -
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture on low speed, mixing just until a soft uniform dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
05 -
If dough is too sticky to handle, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and maintain shape during baking.
06 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion dough by tablespoon, form into balls, optionally roll in granulated sugar, and place 2 inches apart on sheet.
07 -
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain soft. Remove promptly to preserve tenderness.
08 -
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
For deeper flavor and vibrant green color, refrigerate dough overnight before baking.
02 -
Use culinary-grade matcha with bright green color for best results.
03 -
Avoid overbaking to maintain the soft, chewy texture.
