🌿 What Are Matcha Cookies?
Matcha cookies are buttery shortbread-like biscuits infused with fine green tea powder. Unlike chewy American-style cookies, these are crisp, delicate, and flavorful—with a vibrant green hue that showcases the premium quality of the matcha used.
They’re ideal for tea time, gift boxes, or elevating your cookie jar.
🧾 Ingredients (for 20–25 cookies)
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 130g unsalted butter (softened)
- 80g powdered sugar
- 2 tsp Leafmill ceremonial-grade matcha powder (sifted)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: white or dark chocolate for dipping, sesame seeds or nuts for topping
👩🍳 How to Make Matcha Cookies
1. Prepare the dough
In a bowl, cream softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and pale. Add vanilla extract and sifted matcha powder. Mix until combined.
2. Add flour
Gradually add in flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. If too dry, add 1 tsp milk. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat and shape
Preheat oven to 170°C / 340°F. Roll dough to about 5mm thickness and cut into shapes using cookie cutters or slice from a log.
4. Bake
Place on parchment-lined baking tray and bake for 10–13 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
5. Cool and decorate
Let cool completely. Optional: dip in melted chocolate or dust with extra matcha before serving.
💡 Pro Tips
- Use Leafmill ceremonial-grade matcha for vivid green color and smooth umami flavor.
- Chill dough to prevent spreading and get crisp edges.
- Store in airtight containers for up to 1 week—flavor deepens over time.
