matcha cookies

so i was on my matcha kick so i decided to make cookies.  i shouldve whipped the dough up in our brand new stand mixer but i was way too lazy.  that thing is heavy and we dont have enough counter space to leave it out.  this website has a ton of matcha recipes so i decided to try this one out. crispy and chewy cookies?  i am in!

so my mistake was that i put in one stick of button where i saw it say one cup.  when i realized, i had already popped the dough in the oven and started baking.  i decided to pull them out and mix in the much needed butter.  in the end they were more crunchy and not crispy.  a bit chewy.  i will try this recipe again!

Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
Directions
  1. Preheat
    oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together
    flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat
    in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll
    dough into balls about one inch in diameter and flatten slightly to create round discs, and place onto ungreased
    cookie sheets.

  3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand
    on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks
success the second time.  these cookies are yummy out of the oven.  once they sit though they get pretty crispy.  a few seconds in the microwave makes them chewy again.
