I like to use a full tablespoon for a noticeable matcha flavor. First, you'll want to make sure you use a good quality matcha. I use AprikaLife culinary grade organic matcha, and I love the flavor and freshness. If you use a high quality matcha, it should have a smooth, earthy flavor that isn't bitter.

You can also add flavors that will complement your matcha, like citrus, chocolate, vanilla, and spices. Matcha is traditionally produced in a long, meticulous process by the tea leaves are planted, cared for, hand-picked, processed, steamed, dried, and stone-ground.

High-quality matcha takes a lot of time, energy, and attention to detail to produce, which is what makes it cost more. Producing a less-expensive matcha usually involves cutting corners that can result in a less desirable flavor, color, or nutritional benefit. Chances are, you accidentally added too much flour by measuring with a dry measuring cup.

For best accuracy, I always recommend measuring dry ingredients by weight with a kitchen scale. A dry measuring cup can hold varying amounts of flour depending on how tightly it's packed, but a kitchen scale always gives you the exact amount you need. Scooping flour with a measuring cup can inadvertently add too much flour to your dough, which will keep these cookies from spreading and from getting as soft and chewy as they can be.

If you don't have a kitchen scale you should you can use the spoon-and-level method. For more, see my post on measuring baking ingredients accurately! If you try this recipe, I would love it if you could leave a star review rating and comment below!

I think the plain cookie stands on its own. This cookie is not too sweet, packed with delicious matcha flavor, and has an amazing soft, chewy, crumbly texture. It feels refined and quite fancy. This is the kind of cookie that you can have for breakfast with tea or as an afternoon pick-me-up.

Absolutely loved!!! These came out really poorly for me! I was worried they would based on recipe errors people already pointed out and others that remain in the recipe, but I had already mixed together my dry ingredients so I went through with the rest.

These cookies cook really unevenly--dense on the bottom and less so on top. They also browned on the bottom but nowhere else, didn't spread well, and tasted way too salty.

Overall, these were disappointing, and I think people wanting a matcha cookies recipe should look elsewhere. These gave me the feeling that either the recipe wasn't edited before being posted or it was at least in part written by AI.

Hi Anya - thank you for you rcomment and I am sorry to hear you did not enjoy these; I have not had any negative comments from anyone else who has actually made these.

I make this often per this exact recipe and have not had any of the troubles you have found salty or unevenly baked - I do use unsalted butter and I also bake on the middle rack ; The recipe is most certainly not written by AI - this is a recipe posted before AI was available 🙂 Sorry again you didn't care for them.

Emily — May 18, pm Reply. skye georgiadis — May 14, pm Reply. Japanese grocery stores around my area sell Maeda-En matcha and you can also get it on Amazon. However, I highly recommend it as matcha brings its characteristic bitter flavor to the cookies, and the sweetness from white chocolate chips actually balances out the cookies quite well.

This is a great way to add more sweetness to the cookies. The large sugar crystals will keep their shape and give a nice sweetness and sparkles to the cookies. Great idea! This type of cookie is known as butter cookies or icebox cookies. They also go by shortbread cookies or sable cookies.

They are unleavened cookies, which means that leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda are not used in the recipe. The ingredients are simple: butter, sugar, and flour. These cookies are crisp rather than chewy or soft. If you have tried and love shortbread cookies, you can expect a similar crispy texture.

Hold tight for just 2 hours. You can clean up the kitchen and preheat the oven during this time. If you like to cut out the cookie dough, roll the dough into a large disk, chill, then roll it out again before cutting it out into shapes.

I hope you enjoy making this Matcha Cookie recipe. They are perfect for a cozy afternoon snack or for your cookie swap during the holiday season! Wish to learn more about Japanese cooking? And stay in touch with me on Facebook , Pinterest , YouTube , and Instagram.

I was about to make a batch and realized i only have 1 egg, do you think i could just divide the recipe by half and it would work? Thanks again!
