For the most intense green tea flavor, use culinary-grade matcha powder. Chilling the cut cookies in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking will help them hold their shape. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The flavor intensifies after a day or two!

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). (5 minutes) Prepare a work surface by laying down a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and lightly dusting it with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. (3 minutes) Gradually add ¾ cup of granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is pale and creamy. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, and salt. (2 minutes) Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
04
StepTurn the dough out onto the prepared work surface and gently roll it to a ¼-inch thickness. (5 minutes) Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes (approximately 2-inch cookies or bars). Gather any scraps, reroll, and cut out more cookies until all the dough is used. (10 minutes)
05
StepCarefully transfer the cut cookies to the prepared baking sheet. (5 minutes) Lightly sprinkle each cookie with granulated sugar. (3 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges are firm and the cookies are just beginning to turn golden, about 15-18 minutes. (15-18 minutes)
07
StepRemove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. (30 minutes)
