Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp Wakatake culinary matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, flattening slightly with your fingers or a fork.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
