Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 cup softened Butter
- 1 3/4 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Eggs
- 3 cups All Purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 6 teaspoons Matcha powder
- 1/2 cup softened Butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy.
Step 3
Add in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and matcha powder and mix. The dough will be stiff, but be patient as it will come together.
Step 4
Use a 1 ½” Tbsp cookie scoop to achieve uniform cookie sizes and scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2-3” apart.
Step 5
Place in the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden. Remove and let the cookies cool on the pan for about 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to come to room temperature.
Step 6
To make the filling, place the butter in a medium sized bowl and beat for 1-2 minutes until the butter lightens in color. Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar and beat until creamy.
Step 7
Place the filling into a piping bag with a circle tip (#12) and pipe the filling onto one side of the cookie in a circular motion. Top with another cookie and gently press the cookies together so the frosting adheres to both sides and creates a sandwich. Repeat until all the cookies are paired into sandwiches.
