Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir together flour, matcha powder, and baking powder.
    1 cup all purpose flour, sifted, 1 tablespoon green tea matcha powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Using a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar on high speed for three minutes.
    ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened, ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • Then, add vanilla extract and eggs and mix together until all ingredients are incorporated together. You may need to scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs
  • Next, add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until smooth.
  • If adding white chocolate chips, stir them in at this time.
    ⅓ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare two bowls – one with granulated sugar and one with powdered sugar.
    ⅓ cup granulated sugar (for rolling), ⅓ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • Once the dough has chilled, scoop out spoonfuls and roll into 1″ balls (it will still be a bit sticky and that’s okay).
  • Roll dough balls first in granulated sugar and then in powdered sugar.
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and enjoy!
