Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until well combined.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Mix matcha powder into one half until fully incorporated.
  6. Roll out each dough half into rectangles, then stack them together and chill for 30 minutes.
  7. Once chilled, cut the dough into strips and form the checkerboard pattern.
  8. Cut the dough into cookie shapes and place on a baking sheet.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.

Notes

  • For a more intense flavor, use higher quality matcha powder.
  • Make sure to chill the dough; this helps maintain the cookie shape while baking.
