Ingredients
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 80 grams powdered sugar
- 25 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large egg yolks
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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden but the centers remain soft.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Serve and enjoy!
