Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 0.5 cup strawberry purée Made from fresh strawberries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Dough Division and Marble Effect
  1. Split the cookie dough into two equal parts. In one half, fold in the matcha powder until evenly combined. In the other half, fold in the strawberry purée.
  2. Scoop alternating spoonfuls of the matcha and strawberry dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the dough together to create a marbled effect.
Baking & Cooling
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  2. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality culinary matcha. If dough is too soft, chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before shaping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
