Ingredients
- 230g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 180g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 10g Cooking Matcha powder
- 280g (2 and 1/4 cups ) all-purpose flour
- a pinch of salt
- 15-30ml (1-2 tablespoons) milk
What you will need:
- Large bowl
- Handheld mixer
- Spatula
- Sieve
- Scale
- Piping bag (with large tip)
- Baking sheets
Instructions
- Make room in your fridge for the baking sheets.
- With a mixer beat together the butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until combined (make sure you get all the butter off the wall of the bowl and mix it well together).
- On low speed, beat in the pre-sifted matcha powder, the salt, and half the flour. When completely mixed, add the other half of the flour and mix until completely blended.
- On low speed, beat the milk in to reach a consistency that is pipe-able, but be careful not to put too much milk, or the cookies won’t keep their shape.
- Spoon the dough into a piping bag. Use a large piping tip, because the dough will be very hard to pipe with a small one.
- Pipe the dough in circles (or the desired form) onto the baking sheet.
- Chill the formed dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help them keep their form, though it will still spread.
- Preheat the oven to 177°C (350°F).
- Bake the chilled cookies for 10-15 minutes, until the side of the cookies is slightly brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool.
- Sprinkle the top with some extra matcha powder or powdered sugar (optional).
Tips:
- Use a large piping tip.
- Chill your formed cookies before baking to help keep its form. Do not chill the dough before piping, as it will harden and you won’t be able to pipe it.
- Adjust the amount of Matcha Powder used to your personal taste.
- Use Classic Cooking Matcha Ise for the best taste and color.
