Ingredients
– 60g Sugar
– 1 Egg
– 50g Fresh milk
– 55g Salted butter
– 1 tbsp MATCHAZUKI Medium-Grade Matcha Powder
– 185g All-purpose flour
– 110g White chocolate
– Icing sugar (for coating)
– 1/4 tsp Ammonium bicarbonate (baking ammonia)
Instructions
1. Prepare the White Chocolate:
– Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short intervals (20-30 seconds), stirring in between. Once melted, set it aside to cool slightly.
2. Mix the Dough:
– Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy and smooth.
– Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated.
– Next, add the fresh milk and melted white chocolate, continuing to mix until well combined.
3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
– Reduce the mixer speed to low. Sift in the MATCHAZUKI matcha powder, all-purpose flour, and ammonium bicarbonate. Beat until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
4. Shape the Cookies:
– Scoop the dough into medium-sized balls using a spoon or cookie scoop. Roll each ball in icing sugar until fully coated.
5. Bake the Cookies:
– Arrange the dough balls on a baking tray, spacing them apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 170-180°C (340-350°F) for 20 minutes, or until the cookies have spread and developed their signature crinkle pattern.
– Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack.
