These Matcha Latte Cookies combine the rich flavors of buttery sugar cookies with a vibrant, earthy matcha swirl, creating a visually stunning and delicious treat that’s perfect for any occasion. Soft and subtly sweet, these cookies highlight the unique taste of high-quality matcha powder with a delicate marbled effect.

Ingredients

For the Base Dough

  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Matcha Swirl

  • 1 ½ tbsp high-quality matcha powder
  • ½ tsp milk (optional, to help incorporate matcha)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  4. Divide the Dough: Split the dough evenly into two separate bowls.
  5. Make the Matcha Dough: Sift the matcha powder into one bowl of dough. Mix thoroughly until the color is uniform and the dough turns a smooth green. If needed, add ½ teaspoon of milk to help incorporate the matcha evenly.
  6. Form the Swirl Cookies: Take 1 tablespoon of vanilla dough and 1 tablespoon of matcha dough. Press them gently together so they form a ball with the two colors side by side. Roll and slightly twist the dough to create a marbled effect, being careful not to overmix the colors.
  7. Shape the Cookies: Place each dough ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Press each ball gently to slightly flatten the tops.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should remain soft.
  9. Cool Before Serving: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming and a smooth dough texture.
  • Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • If the matcha dough feels too dry, add a tiny amount of milk to help incorporate the powder evenly.
  • Do not overmix the dough when combining the matcha and vanilla portions to maintain a beautiful marbled effect.
  • Cookies will be soft when removed from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
