- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Matcha green tea powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 drops green food coloring
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- When ready to use, roll out the dough onto the floured surface until flattened to about ½-inch thick.
- Cut out cookies using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, placing on the baking tray about 1 inch apart.
- 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.
