Ingredients

Scale

For the cookie dough:

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons match

For rolling the cookies:

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet or sheet pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream room temperature butter on low speed for a minute or two. Add the sugar and beat on high for about 2 more minutes or until the mixture looks light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
  5. In a separate large bowl, sift the matcha powder into the flour and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients and mix on slow speed until all ingredients are incorporated.
  7. Place cookie dough in refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  8. Pour granulated sugar and powdered sugar into separate small bowls and set aside.
  9. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and, using a medium cookie scoop, form cookie dough balls (you will have a sticky dough texture). Roll each ball of dough first in granulated sugar to coat and then in powdered sugar until the cookie has a nice powdered sugar coating. 
  10. Place the cookies on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 minutes. While the cookies are still warm, use the back side of a spatula and gently flatten each cookie just a bit.
  11. Let the baked cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  12. Store the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or on a plate covered with plastic wrap for up to one week.

Notes

The number of cookies you can make with this recipe depends on the size of the cookie dough balls. I made 32 cookies with the dough from this recipe.
