How to Make Matcha Green Tea Shortbread Cookies
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (20g) matcha powder (adjust amount based on matcha quality – see notes), and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks, 225g) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup (150g) powdered sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently gather the dough into a log, approximately 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- On a lightly floured surface, slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place cookies about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
