Matcha Crinkle Cookies are soft, chewy treats with a vibrant green hue and crackled powdered sugar tops. Earthy matcha flavor meets sweet comfort in this elegant twist on a classic cookie.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder (culinary grade)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, beat sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth and combined.
  3. Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Cover and chill the dough for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and roll generously in powdered sugar.
  7. Place on baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until tops crack and edges are just set.
  9. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips for sweetness and contrast.
  • A pinch of cinnamon or ginger makes a great holiday twist.
  • Lemon zest brightens the flavor with subtle tang.
  • For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
  • Use flax eggs and oil for a vegan version.
