Ingredients Needed

• Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Fats & Sugars:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

• Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Fruit:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions 5 (always use H2 and H3)

1. Preheat and prep

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

3. Cream butter and sugars

In another bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and light.

4. Add egg and vanilla

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined and the mixture is smooth.

5. Combine wet and dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined—do not overmix.

6. Fold in strawberries and bake

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared sheet, and bake 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool briefly on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions Matcha Strawberry Cookies

• Serve warm with a dusting of extra matcha or powdered sugar.
• Plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an elegant dessert.
• Offer alongside a pot of green tea or iced milk for a matching flavor pairing.
• Add as part of a cookie board with other favorites like chocolate peanut butter no-bake cookies for variety.
• Wrap a few in wax paper and tie with twine for pretty homemade gifts.

Tips for Success Matcha Strawberry Cookies

• Use room-temperature butter and egg so they incorporate smoothly.
• Pat strawberries dry and chop small to prevent excess moisture in the dough.
• Do not overmix after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
• Bake just until edges are set; residual heat finishes the centers.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer.

Variations

Here are a few easy ways to change it up:

• Dairy-free: swap butter for a firm plant-based spread and use a flax egg if needed.
• Add-ins: fold in white chocolate chips or chopped pistachios for extra crunch.
• Citrus twist: add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to brighten the dough.
