Equipment

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a big bowl, mix the matcha green tea powder and all-purpose flour.
  • Matcha powder and flour should be sifted.
  • Beat the unsalted butter until it is smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a paddle attachment on a stand mixer. It's crucial to soften the butter in advance.
  • Blend with a pinch of salt.
  • Beat well after adding the powdered sugar until it is soft and light. Stop the mixer occasionally while blending to scrape down the bowl.
  • When mixed, add the egg yolks and stir well.
  • Add the flour mixture gradually while blending the matcha mixture until barely mixed.
  • The dough should be divided in half if you're preparing 24 cookies. Form into cylinders that are 7 inches (18 cm) long and 112 inches (4 cm) in diameter.
  • The logs should be covered in plastic wrap and chilled for at least two hours to reach firmness.
  • Set the oven's temperature to 350°F (175°C). Reduce the cooking temperature by 25oF (15oC) for a convection oven. Use silicone baking liners or parchment paper to line a baking pan. Take the dough out of the fridge, then remove the plastic wrap.
  • After being taken out of the oven, the cookies should cool for five minutes on the baking sheet before being carefully moved to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
