The Ultimate Guide to Baking Soft & Chewy Matcha Sugar Cookies

Use high-quality matcha – Culinary-grade matcha works well, but choose one with vibrant green color for better flavor and aesthetics.

Room temperature ingredients – Ensure your butter and egg are at room temp to create a smooth, well-blended dough.

Cream butter and sugar well – Beat them until light and fluffy; this adds air and helps cookies stay soft.

Don’t overmix the dough – After adding dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can make cookies tough.

Chill the dough – Chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps control spread and intensifies flavor.

Roll in sugar before baking – A light sugar coat adds sparkle and a delightful texture on the outside.

Underbake slightly – Take cookies out when the edges are set but centers look soft. They’ll finish baking on the tray.

Store properly – Keep in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain softness for days.
