Step-by-Step Instructions for Matcha Shortbread Cookies
- Begin by placing softened butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat it together with confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually add in cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and matcha powder, mixing on low speed.
- Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one portion of the chilled dough to about 1/3 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to shape the cookies.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes, or until edges are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
- Combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a bowl, microwave until melted and smooth.
- Dip cooled cookies halfway into the melted chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on parchment paper. Dust with matcha powder.
- Let cookies sit at room temperature until the chocolate is set.
