  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons culinary grade matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Strawberry Frosting

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed and strained
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  2. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step firms up the butter, helping the cookies maintain their shape during baking and enhancing the overall flavor.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to set but the centers remain soft. Let the cookies cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
  4. Make the Strawberry Frosting: Puree fresh strawberries and strain to remove seeds if desired. Beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually mix in powdered sugar and strawberry puree until smooth and spreadable. Add milk or cream, one teaspoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Frost the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous layer of strawberry frosting on top using a knife or piping bag. Optionally, decorate with thin strawberry slices or edible flowers for an attractive finish.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to ensure better cookie shape and texture.
  • Use fresh, high-quality matcha powder for the best color and flavor.
  • Make sure butter and eggs are at room temperature for even mixing.
  • Taste and adjust the frosting sweetness by varying powdered sugar and strawberry puree as needed.
  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly.
