• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon of culinary grade matcha powder
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• ½ cup of salted butter
• ⅔ cup of granulated sugar
• ½ cup of light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

Instructions To Make Matcha Green Tea Cookies

1. Whisk together 1⅓ cups of flour, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 tablespoon of culinary quality matcha in a medium sized bowl. Once mixed, set the bowl aside.
2. Whisk together ½ cup of melted butter, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 and ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract in a second, larger bowl.
3. Combine the contents of both bowls until they create a cookie dough.
4. Once the texture of the dough is to your liking, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for around 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
6. Cover one large baking sheet with parchment paper. Coat the paper you've laid on your baking sheet with a cooking spray of your choice.
7. Use a cookie scoop to create small cookie dough balls. Place them onto your cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake the cookie dough in your preheated oven for around 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies have begun to turn from a beautiful green color to a light golden brown.

Congratulations! You have made a delicious batch of high-quality matcha cookies. Once they have cooled, enjoy their crispy texture and strong matcha taste.

Serving

If you want your cookies to be a little more firm, try keeping them in the freezer before serving them.

These cooled cookies come with a thicker texture that rivals the usual chewy matcha cookies.

You can try this matcha tea cookie recipe with a frozen dessert like sorbet or ice cream to add in new flavors and textures.

Whether you choose something sweet or something fruity, this good recipe can make for a nice addition to your dessert.

If you somehow still have cookies left then storing them is easy. Just keep the cookies in an airtight container and open them whenever you want to dig in.

Tips and Variations For Your Matcha Cookie Recipe

• If you want a little more flavor to go with your high quality matcha powder, consider making a batch of matcha chocolate chip cookies. To make these, you will needto add ¾ chocolate chips while you mix the contents of both bowls. There are plenty of chocolate options to choose from.
• Milk chocolate chips have a sweet, milky taste. They are the best option to choose if you want a sweet kick to go with the taste of matcha.
• White chocolate chips are more creamy and will provide an entirely different texture. White chocolate cookies will have a higher sugar content than milk chocolate.
• Instead of white chocolate chips, you can try dark chocolate chips for a more bitter flavor. These will make for the largest difference to your cookies' taste.
• Chocolate chunks are a suitable alternative to regular chocolate chips. They come in all the same varieties, but are more thick and chewy, radically changing your cookies' texture.

Matcha tastes like most other bitter flavors do, so chocolate balances out this taste by adding a sweet kick.

Classic chocolate chips make for the best matcha cookie recipe addition to add the sweetness butter and sugar alone can't.

• Using melted butter in your cookies will give them thinner, crispier edges with a soft interior. If these cookies don't meet your standards, use softened butter to make them fluffier.
• Brown sugar and white sugar react with other ingredients in a cookie recipe fairly differently. While it's generally not advised to mix and match, you can try to add more granulated sugar to make them help the cookies become crispier or more brown sugar to make them softer.
• Try this recipe with a small sprinkle of pure matcha powder for a more bitter flavor. About 2 teaspoons of the green tea powder should work well.

Final Thoughts

Good quality matcha cookies are the perfect cookie for the lovers of all things matcha.

Their bold flavor and natural green hue makes them a great option for a quick snack or addition to sorbet or ice cream while acting presentable.

Making this amazing recipe for the first time may not yield the best results you are looking for.

However, that doesn't mean you should give up at sight of cookies that have lost their bright green color for a burnt black.

No matter if you choose to make these with extra matcha powder or white chocolate chips, these chewy treats are worth the trial and error.

Keep at it, and this great recipe will produce delicious cookies for sure.
