It is a versatile ingredient that you can use to spice up different dishes, from lattes to smoothies to baked goods. In this blog post, we will share a delicious recipe you can try at home: Matcha Cookies. These cookies are sweet and crunchy and have a subtle matcha flavour that everyone will love. Plus, they are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a party, a snack, or a gift.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of organic green tea matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, for about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly crumbly.
- Use your hands to form the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- We recommend using high-quality matcha powder for a better taste and color.
- If your dough is too dry and crumbly, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water to make it more pliable.
- You can change the shape of the cookies and make them larger or smaller, depending on your preference.
Conclusion:
Matcha cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that you can enjoy anytime. This recipe is perfect for beginners or home cooks who want to experiment with matcha and try something new. We hope you enjoyed this blog post and will give this recipe a try.
