Matcha Cookie Butter Cookies
These matcha cookie butter cookies are a cozy treat with a creamy middle and a gently crisp edge, featuring the earthy flavor of matcha balanced with the warmth of cookie butter.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 1-2 tablespoons Matcha powder Depending on how strong you like it
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened Can use salted butter with reduced added salt
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar For a caramel cozy taste
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg yolk Helps with the creamy chew
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Filling
- 1/2 cup Cookie butter (Biscoff style) For stuffing and a little swirl
- Optional: white chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing until smooth and glossy.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until the flour disappears. If adding white chocolate, fold it in now.
Assembly
- Scoop a ball of dough, flatten it slightly, add about 1 teaspoon of cookie butter in the center, then wrap the dough around it and roll gently.
- For an extra pretty look, add a tiny smear of cookie butter on top.
Baking
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges look set and the middle looks a bit soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
Notes
Chill the stuffed dough if your kitchen is warm. Adjust baking times according to the cookie thickness. Matcha cookies taste best after a day as flavors settle in.
