Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream room temperature butter with sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add in eggs and mix until homogenous.
  4. Sift matcha into your flour and pour into your mixing bowl, slowly mixing until all ingredients are incorporated.

    The color should be vibrant like this!

  5. Using a cookie scoop, scoop 1.5 tbsp balls of dough.
  6. Roll the balls in the granulated sugar, then the powdered sugar. Place them on your baking sheet, leaving about 1-2" in between each ball.

    They don't have to be perfect, they will all look great after the crinkle magic happens in the oven!

  7. Bake cookies for 11 minutes.
  8. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Be patient as it cools!

Storage

Cookies

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Leftovers can be frozen but it's not recommended as the powdered sugar coating will dissolve when the cookies are thawed due to condensation.

Dough

For short-term storage, the dough can be covered in the fridge for 1-2 days and scooped when baking. For longer storage, scoop out the dough into balls and freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month. When ready to use, let the cookie dough balls thaw in the fridge overnight, and roll them in sugar right before baking.
