Matcha Crinkle Cookies
Description
Matcha Crinkle Cookies begin with a wet mixture of avocado oil, egg, vanilla, sugar, and sweetened matcha powder. Melted white chocolate is incorporated for added richness and sweetness. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt are folded in to form a balanced dough. The dough rests in the fridge to firm up, improving handling and texture during baking.
Before baking, dough balls are rolled first in granulated sugar then powdered sugar, forming the characteristic crinkle appearance as the cookies spread and crack in the oven. The finished cookies feature a tender center and a slightly crisp surface coated in sugar, with a mild matcha flavor tempered by the sweetness of white chocolate. The texture combines softness with the lightly crunchy edges created by the sugar coating.
This cookie style pairs well with tea or coffee and makes an attractive green-hued addition to a cookie platter or snack tray.
