Matcha Thumbprint Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is made by combining all-purpose flour and matcha powder, which is sifted together before mixing into creamed salted butter and icing sugar. A dash of vanilla adds depth. After forming the dough into balls and creating thumbprint indentations, the dough is chilled for 30 minutes to firm up.
Before baking, a small amount of jam or marmalade is added to each indentation. Baking at 177°C (350°F) for 10-12 minutes produces slightly golden edges while preserving a tender center with the jam filling. After a brief cooling period, cookies are transferred to wire racks to cool fully.
These cookies make a good accompaniment to tea or coffee, combining a mildly sweet flavor with the slight bitterness of matcha and fruity jam.
Ingredients
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 5 g matcha green tea powder

- Stop the mixer and add in the flour and matcha to the butter mixture.
- Use a spatula to combine, but be sure not to overwork the dough.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and form into a small ball.
- Place onto a lined baking sheet, and use your thumb (or the back of a small teaspoon) to make an indent in the centre.
- Repeat with the remaining, spacing out the dough 2" apart.
- Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- Add ¼ - ½ teaspoon of jam/marmalade of your choice to each cookie well.
