Cookies are one of the great snacks that all aged people will crave. Cookies are great for occasions like treats, birthday parties, or any social gathering.

You will find many recipes to make cookies, but we are sure that making matcha green tea cookies is the most uncommon. Matcha green tea Cookies are soft and chewy sugar cookies with a beautiful green tea flavour.

Making matcha cookies is super easy, and the recipes are almost identical to making other cookies. 

This blog will explain simple recipes to follow to make matcha green tea cookies. Let’s begin.

Choosing The Proper Matcha Green Tea Powder

Choose the best matcha powders available. Choose either ceremonial grade matcha powder or universal grade matcha powder. It’s a little more expensive, but you will only need a little bit for a recipe. So you can use a small canister for a more extended period of time. Matcha powders of higher quality will maintain the green colour of your baked goods.

Other types of matcha baking can be done with cheaper matcha powder, like culinary grade. However, it does not produce a bright green colour in baked goods. It is more likely that baked goods will turn light brown or yellow once cooked.

Instructions

These matcha cookies take a little bit of patience and time, but they are well worth it. 

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. To make your butter golden-yellow, place it in a light-coloured pan over medium heat. Then, pour it into a heatproof bowl and set it aside to cool. 
  • Next, you should combine the dry ingredients. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha green tea powder together. For best results, sift your matcha powder before using it.
  • Add the brown butter, brown sugar, and white sugar to a large bowl and mix well. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy. Last but not least, mix your dry and wet ingredients with a spatula until you form a green dough. Mix in your white chocolate chips and let them sit for a few minutes.
  • Rehydrate your dough by letting it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Using this approach will help your cookies bake evenly. Set the cookie dough onto your baking sheets, and use an ice cream scoop. 
  • Baking time should be 9-11 minutes. A light brown colour should be visible on the cookie bottoms. After getting out of the oven, let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before putting them onto a cooling rack. After cooling for another 15 minutes, your cookies are ready for serving. They will hold their shape better if appropriately cooled.

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk

Mix brown sugar, butter, and white sugar with an electric mixer until well blended in a large bowl. Add vanilla extract, egg white, and egg yolk and whisk until smooth.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and blend until it is completely smooth. Add chocolate chips while mixing. Place the cookie dough 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.

The edges of your cookies must be lightly browned after 8 to 10 minutes of baking in the preheated oven. Place the baked cookies on a wire rack to cool completely after cooling for 2 to 3 minutes.

FAQs

Can I Use Baking Powder Instead Of Baking Soda In Cookies?

The texture of cookies made using baking powder differs from baking soda cookies. A cookie made with baking soda will have a coarse, chewy texture, while a cookie made with baking powder will be light and delicate. You can substitute double-acting baking powder for the best cookie results.

What Is The Best Way To Determine Quality Matcha?

Matcha of the highest quality is smooth, sweet, and non-bitter. Green matcha tea has all the good things about it without any bad things.

Conclusion
