Ingredients

for the cinnamon sugar topping:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • Stir the flour, matcha, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Then, add the egg and vanilla and stir to combine. Last, pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine, being careful not to over-mix.
  • Next, stir the cinnamon-sugar topping ingredients -- the cane sugar and cinnamon -- together on a small plate.
  • Use your hands to grab a small amount of dough and roll it into 2" balls (about golf ball size), then roll it into the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place it directly onto the baking sheet. Repeat this process with all of the dough, spacing the balls of dough at least 2" apart on the baking sheet. NOTE: this recipe makes 24 cookies, so you'll either need to use 2 baking sheets, or do this in batches.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 11 minutes. Remove them from the oven and immediately use the back of a spoon to gently press down on the tops of the cookies, slightly flattening them out. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack. Enjoy!
