Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (80g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder, for dusting

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Beat butter and powdered sugar until pale and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in flour, matcha, and salt on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  4. Shape dough into a 2-inch-diameter log, wrap in plastic, and chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
  5. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds, place on sheet, and bake 12-14 minutes until edges are set and bottoms are pale golden.
  6. Cool completely on a rack, then dust with a mix of the 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp matcha.

Notes

Chilling time is not included in prep. For the cleanest slices, use a serrated knife and give the log a quarter turn after each cut. If the dough cracks while slicing, let it sit at room temp for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
