Matcha sugar cookies are a nice way to put a unique spin on a classic cookie. Green tea is mixed into the dough giving it a natural green color and matcha flavor.
I love anything matcha flavored. I like how it adds a natural green color for desserts. After making soft rolled sugar cookies for Boyfriend, I decided to make some matcha sugar cookies for myself.
I really need to get some more cookie-cutter shapes. Other than some Christmas ones, I only have hearts and stars. Since I already used hearts for the regular sugar cookies, I used stars this time. These cookies were small and cute and taste great with a cup of tea.

How to Make Matcha Sugar Cookies
Cream the butter, shortening, and sugar in a bowl. Mix in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix until the dough comes together.
Roll the dough out ¼” thick and use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. Reroll the scraps to cut out more cookies.
Bake the cookies at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on a baking rack.
I really enjoyed these matcha sugar cookies – they’re a nice way to put a spin on a classic sugar cookie recipe.
