Ingredients
  

  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoon Matcha powder HERE to buy
  • 50 g white chocolate HERE to buy
  • 70 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk large egg

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Butter - Bring butter to room temperature.
  • Flour and Matcha powder - Combine all-purpose flour and matcha powder in a medium bowl. Then, sift the flour and the matcha powder at least 3 times.
  • White chocolate - If necessary, cut the white chocolate into 1/4 inch large pieces.
  • Egg - divide egg yolk.

Let's cook!

  • In a medium bowl, add the room temperature butter and mix until the butter is smooth, then add sugar and mix until it turns white.
  • Add egg yolk into the bowl and mix until the color is even.
  • Add the mixture(all-purpose flour and matcha powder), and knead. Do not over mix to avoid to get a lot of gluten.*1
  • Add the white chocolate, then mix until completely roughly.
  • Take out from the bowl, and shape the dough into a cylinder about 2-3 inches (5-7.6cm) in diameter.
  • Prepare a cling wrap and wrap the dough. Close it well and put it in the fridge for 2 hours.

Let's bake!

  • Preheat the oven to 335°F (168-169°C).
  • Take out the dough from the fridge and open the wrap. Cut the dough into almost 1/4 inch (6mm) thick pieces.*2
  • Prepare a baking pan and place parchment paper. Then, bake the cookies for about 14-15 minutes.
  • After 14-15 minutes, take out the baking pan and let them cool down.

Let's eat!

  • This is great for a snack or gift!

Notes

*1 If you mix too much more than you need, too much gluten will happen and that will break cookies.
*2 Cut quick using a sharp knife. It includes white chocolate so it is difficult to cut or it may break the shape while cutting.
