Matcha Sugar Cookies

A classic irresistible, soft, chewy and sweet cookie recipe that is simple to make and uses everyday pantry ingredients. Matcha Sugar Cookies is a type of cookie made with sugar, matcha, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and baking soda known for its tender insides with crisp edges.

Our matcha princess strikes again, this time with Matcha Sugar Cookies. Me and my wife never liked matcha before but our daughter, for some reason have an affinity to and loves to buy and bake anything that has matcha on it. Matcha Crinkles, Matcha Macarons and Matcha Roll Cake, name it she made it, and this is the most recent, in a form of sugar cookies.

So, what is a sugar cookie? So as the name suggest, a sugar cookie is a cookie with the main ingredients being sugar, where it is combined with flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder and baking soda. It is then formed by hand, dropped, or rolled and cut into shapes. Then to top things up they are rolled in more sugar, icing, sprinkles, or all of them. So, it’s really a simple cookie and versatile too, you can add any flavour you want to decorate it with any sprinkles you wish.

For today my daughter used her favourite Asian flavours Matcha but she also made plain ones of these before as well as chocolates.
