Ingredients

• 140g / 5 ozFlour
• 15g / 1 tablespoonMatcha powder
• a pinchSalt
• 100g / 3.5 ozButter or cake margarine(at room temperature)
• 70g / 2.5 ozGranulated sugar
• as neededGranulated sugar(for coating)

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring the butter to room temperature. Sift together the flour, matcha powder, and salt.

2. 2

   Place the softened butter in a bowl. If too firm, knead until soft or briefly microwave.

3. 3

   Add the granulated sugar to the butter and mix with a whisk until pale and fluffy.

4. 4

   Switch to a rubber spatula. Add the sifted dry ingredients and fold gently, cutting through the mixture until just combined.

5. 5

   Gather the dough and divide into 2-3 portions. Place each on plastic wrap and shape into square logs about 3cm wide. Freeze for 1 hour until firm.

6. 6

   Slice the frozen dough into 1cm thick rounds. If too hard, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for cleaner cuts.

7. 7

   Optional: Roll the sliced cookies in granulated sugar to coat the edges for extra crunch.

8. 8

   Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each cookie. Bake at 170°C (340°F) for about 13 minutes. Do not let them brown to preserve the matcha flavor.

9. 9

   Let cool completely on the baking sheet before handling, as they are soft when warm.

Tips

• ✓Do not overbake; browning will diminish the matcha flavor.
• ✓The cookies spread during baking, so leave adequate space between them.
• ✓Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• ✓Coating with sugar before baking adds a satisfying crunch.
