Thank you so much for this recipe. I have been working on duplicating the green tea cookies I found in Tokyo. These are the closest. I added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt, it boosts the macha flavor. Buy the best macha you can afford, the better the quality the better the color and taste. Inexpensive macha is muddy and dark. With the leftover dough (after I cut the shapes out) I rolled into small balls, then rolled into sesame seeds, flattened a little and cooked. A great way to use scraps. Happy cooking.

Absolutely divine. I added 2 tbsp of matcha because I love the flavour. They are perfect.

Thank you for this recipe…I adore matcha and drink it regularly and so am looking forward to the ‘trees’ I am making with it. One question, and perhaps an odd one…the measurement of the butter didn’t work out for me. I googled how much 5 oz of butter is and got the measurement of about just less than 3/4 of a cup…tried to figure out by looking at your other measurements of flour and confectioner’s sugar but that confused me a bit too. Anyhoo, the original measurement I used didn’t add enough moisture to make a disc so I added about 1/4 cup more. Any help with the butter measurement in cups? Thanks once again, I’ll post once I’ve had a warm one from the oven. Happy holidays.

Hi Tanantha- It would change the texture (make it more coarse) and the color wouldn’t be as pure green, but the best way to find out if it’s worth the trade off is to try it. Let me know how it goes!

Hi, I’m searching the green tea cookie recipe to try out. This one looks good! I just wondered if I could substitute half of all purpose flour to whole wheat flour? Is it going to change the flavor or dilute the color?

I worked for five years as a pastry chef and so I am difficult to please in the cookie department.

These turned out perfectly. Tasted divine. I used a little less than 1.5 tbsp (more like 1 tbsp) of matcha because I ran out and the flavour was still lovely.

Thanks so much for sharing!

i tried to make these this morning. but my dough wouldn’t come together. i threw in an extra egg and an extra tablespoon of butter and it was still too dry to even roll out!
