Matcha Icebox Sugar Cookies
Chatelaine Triple Tested

The perfect accompaniment for your afternoon green tea.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder

  • 1/2 tsp matcha green tea powder, for icing

  • 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • STIR flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Add 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder to flour mixture.

  • BEAT butter with sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture, just until combined. Gather into a ball. Divide dough in half, then roll each portion into a 2-in.-wide log. Wrap logs in wax paper and twist ends. Chill until firm, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

  • POSITION racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

  • SLICE cookies into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange 1 inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching halfway through, until cookies are golden, 10 to 12 min. Let cookies cool on sheets for 1 min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Whisk 1/2 cup icing sugar with 1/2 tsp matcha green tea powder and 1 tbsp milk until smooth. Lightly brush tops of cooled cookies with a thin layer of icing, covering the entire surface. Excess icing will drip through the racks. Cookies will keep well, stored in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 5 days.
