This is the perfect recipe to make while social distancing 😆 It’s a genius small batch recipe, and a gourmet upgrade the regular sugar cookies, I added a bunch of matcha (thanks for the matcha Ma ✨) and white chocolate for a treat.

And, if you don’t have any white chocolate around, its ok. It’s a tiny taste upgrade for the cookies, but if you’re skipping the chocolate, I’d recommend coating the cookies with granulated sugar before baking. Enjoy! 🍵

Matcha Sugar Cookies

Recipe adapted from Dessert for Two
Makes 8 cookies

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg yolk
½ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon matcha powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt
2-oz. white chocolate chunks

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350ºF, and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Stir together the slightly cooled melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir very well to combine.
Add the egg yolk and mix until combined.
Sift the flour, matcha, baking soda and salt over the dough, and stir just to combine.
Add the chopped white chocolate chunks to the mix and combine.
Using a cookie or ice scream scoop, portion the dough. Each scoop is of about 1.5 tablespoons each.
Roll each dough ball, and space evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies spread, start to crackle and dry on top.
Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely and serve.
