Matcha Cookies for Matcha Lovers
When I was in junior-high, I tried adding matcha to the cookies I usually made plain, and it turned into my favorite cookie that I still bake even today!! The matcha flavor is relatively strong while it's only fairly sweet, so you can enjoy both the aroma and bitterness of the matcha. Chill in the fridge during the summer.
To mix the margarine well with a whisk, to leave the dough in room temperature when it's hard to slice, and to make sure the cookies don't burn. That's about it. The resulting quantity depends on the width of the stick. I recommend 1cm width when you slice the cookies for a crusty and tasty finish. For around 35. Recipe by Kobosuke

- 1
Bring cake margarine to room temperature. Measure all ingredients. Combine ● ingredients (flour, matcha, salt) and sift.
- 2
Put the margarine, now at room temperature, into a bowl and knead until it's slightly soft.
- 3
Add all of the granulated sugar into the bowl from step 2. Mix well until everything turns white.
- 4
Now using a spatula, add all sifted ingredients into the bowl. Mix roughly.
- 5
If you mash the margarine as you mix, you'll get a nice result. When the dough looks like this, make one huge chunk and divide into 2 or 3 portions (roughly).
- 6
Put the dough onto a plastic wrap and shape into square sticks about 3cm in width. Place on a flat container if possible, and freeze for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden.
- 7
Slice into 1cm thickness. When it's hard and frozen, it will break apart when you cut. Set aside in room temperature for a while for a better result.
- 8
Align on a baking pan aligned with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes in a 180℃ preheated oven. Make sure to leave enough space because it will raise.
- 9
Let it cool on the baking pan. Caution: Make sure not to burn it because that will destroy the aroma of matcha.
- 10
Update: You can also sprinkle granulated sugar (unlisted) on the dough before you bake. It becomes nice and crunchy when it's baked.
- 11
You can also add tea leaves like Western tea cookies. If you want texture, chop up the leaves. Also try with black tea and houjicha roasted tea.

Here's how it looks like when you sprinkle granulated sugar. Also with green tea leaves. The tea leaves are actually inconspicuous, but add to the aroma.

Even my 2-year-old son enjoys it. He loves matcha, just like me!

Matcha Cookies Matcha Cookies
I didn't have enough matcha , so I tried with green tea leaves. The result was amazingly high in quality. Guests and friends have said that the slight bitterness is delicious, plus tea leaves are cheaper.If you freeze the dough, you can cut it easily. If the chocolate is too hard, roll the dough with a rolling pin on both sides and cut it slowly. If the dough falls apart, just stick it together again with your fingers and it'll be fine. Use tea leaves that are deep green, and pulverize to a fine powder. Add a little matcha for color. Recipe by mini

Sakura and Matcha Cookies Sakura and Matcha Cookies
I thought sakura flavoured, sakura patterned cookies would be so cute, so I decided to make them. At first cutting out the sakura patterns is fun, but it is a lot of work and can be tedious and tiring. This is why I recommend doing the reversible and marbled cookies.The dough can be sticky, so make sure to dust it with plenty of flour. Roll out the dough over a sheet of plastic wrap before cutting out the pattern. Dust the pattern cutter with flour as well. To keep the colour from browning too much in the oven, cover the cookies with aluminum foil before baking. Recipe by Monakasan -

Matcha Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies Matcha Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies
The mini matcha chocolate chips that I received as a gift was so tasty that I made it myself. I also wanted my daughter to overcome her dislike of matcha.The deepness of color depends on the matcha, but I recommend you don't use more than 3 g. The wrapped dough from step 6 must be hardened like sticks that don't bend when stood.The color of the dough in step 8 looks really dark, but it becomes a nice green color when baked. For 50~60 cookies/2.5 cm [1.0 in]. Recipe by ko-ko
