Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers are set.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
