Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder (ceremonial grade preferred)
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons matcha powder. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat ¾ cup (170 g) softened unsalted butter with ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  3. Mix in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Gradually add the sifted flour and matcha mixture, stirring gently until dough forms. Avoid over-mixing.
  5. Shape dough into a flat disk, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out chilled dough to ¼ inch (6 mm) thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  7. Cut out 2-inch (5 cm) rounds with a cookie cutter and place on parchment-lined baking sheets about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just set and bottoms lightly golden. Cool on wire rack completely.
  9. Heat ⅓ cup (80 ml) heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over 6 oz (170 g) chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  10. Stir in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until glossy.
  11. Spread or pipe about 1 teaspoon of white chocolate filling onto the bottom of half the cookies. Top with remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
  12. Refrigerate assembled cookies for 15 minutes to set the filling.

Notes

Sifting matcha powder is essential to avoid clumps and ensure smooth dough color. Chill dough well to prevent spreading. Use quality white chocolate for silky ganache. If filling is too soft, refrigerate briefly before spreading. Dough can be refrigerated longer if sticky. Assemble cookies a day ahead and chill for best freshness.
