Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Butter Cookies
  1. Prepare Your Baking Environment: Start by preheating your refrigerator, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, and ceremonial grade matcha powder. Sift well.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the creamed butter mixture.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually mix the sifted dry ingredients into your butter mixture in two parts.
  6. Pipe Cookie Shapes: Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 2-inch rounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake the Cookies: Once chilled, bake the cookies one tray at a time in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
