Easy Matcha Cookies Recipe (with Brown Butter)

Print Recipe

These easy matcha cookies are made with rich brown butter and earthy matcha green tea powder, resulting in a soft, flavorful treat with a slightly crisp edge.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
  6. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
  10. Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading during baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
