Name: Japanese Matcha Cookies [日本の抹茶クッキー]
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 155 min
Ingredients: 240 g all-purpose flour; 15 g matcha green tea powder; 170 g unsalted butter (at room temperature); 130 g powdered sugar (also known as icing or confectioners); 1/8 tsp. salt; 2 egg yolk (large at room temperature); 50 g white chocolate (cut into small pieces)

Mixing

▢
Sift and combine the 240 g all-purpose flour and the 15 g matcha green tea powder in a large mixing bowl.
▢
In another large mixing bowl, beat the 170 g unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. If your butter is too hard, leave it out on the counter for 1 hour or microwave it in 5-second increments until it‘s softened. Sift 130 g powdered sugar with 1/8 tsp. salt.
▢
Add 2 egg yolk and mix well until combined. Gradually add the flour and matcha mixture until just combined. Add 50 g white chocolate and mix until just incorporated.
▢
Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter and 7 inches (18 cm) long. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least 2 hours.
▢
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, unwrap the plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice the dough into rounds about 1/3 inch (7 mm) thick. Place the sliced dough on the baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between the rounds.
▢
Bake the cookies at 350ºF for about 15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies start to get slightly golden brown on the sides.
