Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well until fully incorporated.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Form the base dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a smooth dough forms.
  4. Divide and flavor dough: Split the dough evenly into two bowls. In one bowl, mix in the matcha powder thoroughly. In the other bowl, mix in the strawberry powder evenly.
  5. Create marble effect: On a clean surface, layer and gently fold the two colored doughs together just enough to create a marbled pattern without fully blending the colors.
  6. Shape cookies: Roll the marbled dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant green color.
  • Strawberry powder can be found at specialty stores or online and adds natural fruit flavor without moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the dough during the marbling step to maintain distinct colors.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
