    Matcha Heart Cookies are so colorful and easy to make. Made with green tea matcha powder, they're a sweet Asian treat that's perfect for your sweetie on Valentine's Day!

    • Total Time: 60 min
    • Yield: 2 dozen 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 egg yolk
    • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
    • Pinch of salt
    • 2 drops green food coloring
    • Powdered sugar for dusting

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour and Matcha green tea powder. Set aside.
    2. Cube the butter and place in a mixing bowl along with the egg yolk. Beat the butter and egg together and add in the sugar to cream. Add the food coloring and mix until well blended.
    3. Slowly add in the flour mixture and salt and beat until mixed well. Remove the dough and knead together on a floured surface forming a ball, making sure there are no more gooey crumbs. Seal with plastic wrap, flatten, and place in refrigerator about 30 minutes until firm.
    4. When ready to use, roll out the dough onto the floured surface until flattened to about ½-inch thick.
    5. Cut out cookies using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, placing on the baking tray about 1 inch apart.
    6. Bake cookies about 15 minutes, until just slightly brown on the edges. Let cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

    Notes

    • You can store these cookies in the freezer for three months. Let it get to room temperature before serving.
