Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth again.
Add the baking soda, baking powder, and matcha green tea powder and combine. Stir in the flour until thoroughly incorporated into the cookie dough. Fold in optional baking chips if desired.
Portion the dough out using a tablespoon or melon ball scooper and roll it into a ball. Place onto your prepared baking sheets with 2 inches of spacing between each round of dough, then flatten slightly before baking.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies no longer look raw. *I don't like the bottoms to brown on these matcha cookies, so I remove them at the 8-minute mark before they turn color on the foot of the cookie.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to set on the baking trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
