Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 egg yolks**
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • Form dough into walnut size balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Don't flatten.
  • Bake 10 to 11 minutes, until the tops are cracked and just turning color.

Notes

Try adding medium size Oreo cookie pieces while forming the dough into balls for chocolatey flavor and extra crunch. To store the cookies, use an airtight container or cookie jar. The cookies can be stored at room temperature up to 1 week.

**The egg white from this cookie recipe can be frozen and saved for the CHRISTMAS TREE MATCHA COCONUT MACAROONS recipe.
