Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 120 g unsalted butter
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g soft light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 230 g plain flour
  • 2 teaspoons matcha powder, sieved
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 100 g white chocolate, chopped

For the Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 100 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 100 g icing sugar, sieved
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freeze dried strawberry powder
  • 200 g full fat cream cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: Melt the butter and pour it into a large mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract, then whisk until combined. Incorporate the egg and whisk thoroughly to form a smooth mixture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain flour, sieved matcha powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Dough: Add the dry ingredient mixture and chopped white chocolate into the wet mixture. Stir all ingredients together until a uniform dough forms.
  4. Shape Dough Balls: Portion approximately 90 grams of dough and roll into balls. Place each ball onto a plate or tray. Repeat until all dough is portioned.
  5. Chill Dough: Freeze the dough balls for 30 minutes to firm up and prepare them for baking.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Tray: Ten minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
  7. Arrange and Bake Cookies: Place the chilled dough balls onto the baking tray, ensuring there is enough space between them for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes until edges are set.
  8. Reshape Warm Cookies: Immediately after baking, use a cookie cutter or small bowl to reshape the cookies into perfect circles while still warm. Allow cookies to cool completely on the tray.
  9. Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting: In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and freeze dried strawberry powder together for 5 minutes until fluffy. Add cream cheese and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
  10. Frost the Cookies: Once cookies are completely cooled, either pipe or spoon the strawberry cream cheese frosting onto the tops of the cookies. Optionally, sprinkle additional freeze dried strawberry powder for garnish.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Your bakery-style strawberry matcha cookies are now ready to enjoy—soft, flavorful, and beautifully frosted treats.

Notes

  • Freezing the dough balls before baking helps the cookies maintain their shape and prevents excessive spreading.
  • Using sieved matcha powder ensures a smooth texture and vibrant green color in the cookies.
  • Cool the cookies completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Optionally, garnish the frosted cookies with additional freeze dried strawberry powder for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best freshness due to the cream cheese frosting.
